Strategic Doing Credo !We believe we have a responsibility to build a prosperous, sustainable future for ourselves and future generations.
No individual, organization or place can build that future alone.
Open, honest, focused and caring collaboration among diverse participants is the path to accomplishing clear, valuable, shared outcomes.
We believe in doing, not just talking and in behavior in alignment with our beliefs.

… a medium-‐sized city in the Midwest whose glory days are still clearly visible in the rear-‐view mirror. Until the 1970s, Midville was…
Proud home to the Beltline
Manufacturing Company (BMC),
supplier to the automobile industry that employed a
majority of the adults.

• Mid 1970’s -‐ BMC began to experience significant competition from foreign manufacturers and began downsizing
• Mid 1980’s -‐ BMC had shuttered much of its operation
• 1992 -‐ BMC closed its last production line

Business Challenges, Failures, Opportunities
![Page 20: Kansas Introduction to Strategic Doing | May 2014](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052321/55496c43b4c90595518b4f39/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Much of the architecture was developed during the 1880s when Midville first grew as a manufacturing center.
Newer buildings on the fringe of downtown were developed during the post-‐World War II era when Midville saw its last major growth phase.
Downtown Midville Glory Days
![Page 21: Kansas Introduction to Strategic Doing | May 2014](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052321/55496c43b4c90595518b4f39/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Now, downtown resembles: !• a hodge-‐podge of old,
significant buildings that are falling into disrepair,
• vacant lots where fires and neglect have begun hollowing out the streetscape, and
• a varied combination of building materials that were added in an attempt to ‘update’ some buildings during the 1960’s.
Past Glory Days
![Page 22: Kansas Introduction to Strategic Doing | May 2014](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052321/55496c43b4c90595518b4f39/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The buildings represent a variety of architectural styles that were prominent in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s including Italianate, Romanesque Revival, and Beaux Arts styles.
Many of the unique architectural aspects are now hidden by vinyl siding, wood paneling or peeling paint.
Downtown Architecture
![Page 23: Kansas Introduction to Strategic Doing | May 2014](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052321/55496c43b4c90595518b4f39/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Population peaked in the 1980s with approximately 80,000 residents. Now there are less than 65,000 individuals. This stems from: – An aging population, – young people leave for college and don’t return, and – young people move away to follow jobs.

• The population has stabilized slightly in the last decade due to a minor influx of Hispanics.
• The overall lack of jobs has limited the in-‐migration of Hispanics, but service jobs and jobs in health care have attracted minorities to the community.
• There is an underlying tension between long-‐term residents and their new Hispanic neighbors, but it is fairly muted within the community.
A Changing Demographic

• the lack of culture in the community,
• the lack of opportunities for trailing spouses,
• the perception that Midville’s schools are struggling, and
• doctors and other professionals tending to live in Uppityville, forty-‐five minutes away where schools are perceived to be better.

• Still offers classes in tool and die trades, computer numerical control machining and other industrial trades. !
• Enrollment has been dropping since few parents encourage their kids to pursue jobs that use these skills. !
• Computer labs and other technology available for classes and training, but the computers often sit unused or are devoted to classes to teach computer literacy to older adults.

As the population has continued to decline, the two existing high schools were consolidated. This continues to be a source of frustration within the community as the cultures of the two sides of the city have established an uneasy truce. Trophies in the trophy cases are separated by high school and parents continue to associate with one school or the other. Students are frankly integrating better than the parents.

Many residents choose to ignore a growing crime problem in the rural area outside of Midville: methamphetamine. Local police are candid about the fact that they can’t keep up with the growth of the meth labs in the rural area. Much of the meth seems to be destined for sale in other areas, but a recent rash of home burglaries raises concerns among local police that the problem may be escalating locally.
Crime on the Rise

On the outskirts of Midville is a small artist collective. The locals refer to the artists who live and work there as ‘hippies,’ but the crafts people and artists produce pottery, wooden furniture, wrought iron articles, and other household items that are sold over the internet to buyers all over the country.
“Midstock”
![Page 32: Kansas Introduction to Strategic Doing | May 2014](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052321/55496c43b4c90595518b4f39/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Once a year the artists hold a festival, derided by the locals as ‘Midstock’ that brings musicians, artisans, and aging hippies to campgrounds outside of Midville during a long weekend in September every year.

To AgroNet, a multinational commodities business
• Midville is in a rural area, once dominated by family farms. !
• The farming patriarchs and matriarchs are passing and their children are selling the family farms.
• In many cases, land is being sold to large, commercial farming operations, although a few local farmers are using this opportunity to expand their land holdings.
• Some of the families that are selling farms have expressed an interest in keeping the land locally owned.
