This workshop introduces you to Open Source Economic Development and Strategic Doing

We are moving from our Grandfather’s to our Grandchildren’s Economy

Open networks require collaboration and new approaches to strategy

Our Grandchildren’s Economy creates wealth through networks: knowledge and open innovation


Strategic Doing provides the discipline to transform community and regional economies

Strategic Doing changes the leadership role of the PCDA Board and staff

Strategic Doing involves a process, not an event: Managing conversations for complex thinking and doing


This workshop introduces you to Open Source Economic Development and Strategic Doing





Innovation in our Grandfather’s Economymoved a lot of stuff and created a lot of wealth

Coal Dumper, shores of Lake Erie, 1897


Innovation in our Grandfather’s Economybuilt our current economy and lifestyles


The S-Curve caught up to our grandfather’s economy

‣Global markets integrated

‣ Costs collapsed

‣ The Internet exploded


Many communities have gotten caught in a downward cycle because the cannot adjust to new realities


It is very hard to adjust because nobody can tell anybody what to do...


Prosperity in our Grandchildren’s Economyinvolves a completely different set of business models


Our Grandchildren’s economy creates wealth with networks


Our Challenge: Find pathways to our Grandchildren’s economy...Aligning, linking and leveraging our assets

We are here


Our Challenge: Find pathways to our Grandchildren’s economy...Aligning, linking and leveraging our assets

We need to move here


“Command and control” behaviors do not work in networks...There is not top or bottom and no one can tell anyone what to do...


Effective networks operate with tight cores and porous boundaries...Why?

Which region can take on more complex and ambitious projects?


Networks create value exponentially as they develop...What’s the value of one cell phone? What’s the value of ten?


Network leadership balances leadership guidance and open participation...


Let’s go back to our downward cycle...How can we reverse this cycle in a world in which “command and control” no longer works?


It turns out that in networks, the soft stuff is the hard stuff: People move in the direction of their conversations. The ke to aligning networks is guiding conversations


Managing conversations is the skill of collaboration...It requires both open participation and leadership direction


We reverse the cycle by guiding a new set of conversations...We look to the future with focus and discipline


But conversations about what? There are 5 strategic focus areas for any strategy in our Grandchildren’s Economy


The basic model of change: Collaboration drives open innovation...Innovation drives productivity and prosperity


New strategies involve strengthening and connecting our five asset networkswithin the regional economy

Strategic Doing provides the discipline we need to transform our economies


No regional strategy: People and organizations work in isolation trying their best

Strategic Planning: A few people try to sort it all out (but it does not work)

Strategic Doing: A continuous process of aligning, linking and leveraging

Strategic Doing requires us to think dynamically...No small group can impose strategies


Traditional strategic planning evolved to handle the complexities of managing large hierarchies...like the military and Fortune 500 companies in our Grandfather’s economy


Traditional strategic planning evolved to handle the complexities of managing large hierarchies...like the military and Fortune 500 companies in our Grandfather’s economy

A small group at the top did the thinking

A larger group at the bottom did the doing


When we move toward networks, we need new approaches to strategy...where there is no separation of thinking from doing...We keep ourselves focused on the big, strategic ideas


Strategic Doing in a nutshell


Governor’s Workforce Summit in Idaho conducted a three day Strategic Doing workshop in November 2008


Strategic Doing in Twin Falls, Idaho


Strategic Doing in Lansing, Michigan


Strategic Doing in Denver, Colorado


Strategic Doing in Kansas City, Missouri


Strategic Doing is simple, but not easy


Strategic Doing provides the discipline to transform community and regional economies: Managing conversations




If we develop new disciplines to think and act strategically, we can align our assets with “link and leverage” strategies


Strategic Doing is like paddling a kayak in the ocean

The task requires quick strategic assessments and continuous “doing”

Core Group

Strategic Doing begins when a core team of people agrees to take responsibility for the Strategic Doing process...

The Core Group agrees to use a Strategic Doing process to produce and update a Strategic Action Plan

Strategic Doing is simple, but not easy. It takes practice...


Strategic Doing generates all of the components of a Strategic Action Plan...But you need the discipline to capture the decisions


What are the assets you can contribute

or share?

What are the opportunities we see

when we connect these assets?

Who are the partners that could be engaged in this

opportunity?

Example: Network of professionals committed to youth initiatives

Example Opportunity 1: We could conduct monthly webinars to inform us of the innovations taking place in the region.

WIB, 3 key service providers, the community college

Opportunity 2: We could create weekly forums to keep people informed and build our networks...

WIB, library system, community college

Here’s an example of a worksheet to connect assets to opportunities from a Strategic Doing Pack


As we connect assets, we notice something strange starts to happen...

The “network effect” takes hold...

We next need to make strategic decisions and focus


What should we do together? (Critical steps to creating a focus)

Define a big outcome with 3 characteristics

Where do you want to be in 3 years?

What will people be doing? And how will they be doing it? What does

success look like?

Pick something transformative..not just something you are already doing...Pick

something that you can do together that you cannot just do alone


What does success look like?

Define 3 characteristics of your Outcome

Define a way to measure this characteristic

Example: Creating a nationally recognized workforce summit that regularly pushes innovative initiatives to address the challenges of at-risk youth.

Characteristic 1: Active on-line community of innovators

Metric 1: Number of people engaged in our on-line network

Example: Creating a nationally recognized workforce summit that regularly pushes innovative initiatives to address the challenges of at-risk youth. Characteristic 2: Strategy teams

that engage at-risk youth as members

Metric 2: Number of at-risk youth participating in our strategy sessions

Example: Creating a nationally recognized workforce summit that regularly pushes innovative initiatives to address the challenges of at-risk youth.

Characteristic 3: Example: Regular webcasts

Metric 3: Number of webcasts; total number of webcast participants

Here’s a worksheet for defining characteristics of an outcome...As we define outcomes clearly, sensible metrics emerge


Describe your initiative:

Define 3 SMART Goals

For this project by this date....

We will do this....

What are you going to do to achieve your outcome?

Example: September 2009

We convene a core team of professionals in the region engaged with at-risk youth to complete budget and agenda for summit


December 2009 Complete funding


March 2010 Launch summit

Finally, we need a clear process for learning together “what works”...


How will we learn together? (Critical steps to learning together)

1. Capture your Strategic Doing Pack on the web

2. Plan the next face-to-face meeting for revisions

Strategic Doing calls for continuous revisions

of a Strategic Action Plan

30-90 days

Strategic Doing provides the discipline to transform community and regional economies: Managing conversations




Create safe civic spaces and clear rules of civility...


Overcome the “power” of the Invisible Fence


Take the “Shanghai perspective”

Our View Their View


PCDA can manage effectively, if the Board and staff make adjustments
