Welcome!
Here is a project web site that we are using to support our Strategic Doing workshops.
Here is the current version of the Strategic Action Plan on which we are working:
Brevard Strategic Doing Plan v. 1.0 July 2010
Where we stand and where we're heading
We are building an ew approach to regional economic and workforce strategy in Brevard. We are using the disciplines of strategic doing to keep us focused. (More on that below.)
As we develop our skills at collaborative leadership, we increase our ability to get complex projects done in open, loosely jooined networks. Our workshops are exposing us to these new disciplines and developing our skills.
How our July 12 Workshop was organized
We used the July 12 workshop to continue developing our strategies for transforming the Brevard economy. Our strategies now fall into five broad categories:
- Developing brain power;
- Developing networks to support innovative companies are not partners;
- Developing quality, connected places;
- Developing new narratives and networks; and
- Developing the skills of collaborative leadership.
On July 12, we organized around the following strategic focus areas:
- Entrepreneurship support.-- These initiatives develop the networks needed to support entrepreneurial start-ups and early-stage growth companies.
- Clean energy project.-- This table will focus on emerging energy initiatives to build the region's next energy economy. These projects include a focus on energy efficiency
- Business assistance.-- These initiatives focus on providing networks and information, so that companies can gain access to the resources they need.
- Training and education.-- These initiatives involve innovations to make training and education career pathways more flexible and responsive to the needs of individuals and business.
- Publicly place-making projects.-- These initiatives focus on building the large-scale infrastructure needed to support a prosperous economy. Examples: high speed rail and the port-to-port initiative.
- New narratives.-- Economies transform when enough people see a new future and new investment activity reaches a "tipping point". New narratives speed the process.
We can place these groups on to our strategy map:
Strategic Doing in a Nutshell
Strategic Doing: The next steps
Strategic doing is a discipline, a process, not an event. Our July 12 workshop is another step on the path. Between workshops, teams take steps to implement.
