Strategic Planning Strategic Doing

Strategic Doing is built for networks

Clusters are complex networks that emerge from conversations

Clusters emerge over time in clear stages…

We accelerate clusters by embracing Strategic Doing

Strategy emerges from questions, connections and commitments

Simple rulescreate a swarm

Step 1: Start new conversations

Step 2: Identify your strengths from existing clusters

Rely on the power of interactive mapping

Step 3: Activate your clusters with strategy workshops

Core Team builds out network and launches pilot projects

Higher education institutions join to anchor the cluster

Development organizations align to support the strategic agenda
