The Impact of Strategic Doing

The Northwest Ordinance of 1787

created a laboratory for our

democracy…it is time to use it

The Great Lakes Nation

Article 3: Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.

Northwest Ordinance, 1787

Why is the Campus Compact

more important now than ever?

State and local finances are tanking everywhere

State and local operating balance for the U.S.

Squeeze out the waste

The Standard Solution

But that leads to relentless arguments…

and people dancing in circles…

What will the Great Lakes Nation look like in 2030?

So, have we had enough?

You’ve got companyStrategic Doing workshops

We have cracked the code on collaboration

We are not fixing old systems

We are designing collaboration platforms for “what’s next”

Strategic Planning

We embrace a new strategy process designed for open networks

Strategic Doing

We design complex strategies by following simple rules

“The best methodology I have seen in 20 years.”

First…The Backstory

The Strategic Doing story starts here

…and continues here… Mazda Manufacturing Complex Hiroshima, Japan

…and continues here…

…and continues here…

What’s happening?

We are sitting in the midst of a really big transition…

The foundations of our economy are shifting…

Networks move us to new opportunities

“Do the math…”

14 counties + Purdue

$15 million = $1 million each

County official

“Nope. Build the collaborations.”

• 60+ collaborations • 100+ partners • 200+ metrics • 80% sustained past initial funding • 2 staff hired

It comes down to this…

Thinking in New Ways

Public Sector Private Sector

Old thinking leads to gridlock…

Our economy works differently…

Civic Economy: Publicly valuable, but not privately profitable

Market Economy: Publicly valuable and privately profitable

Prosperity emerges from collaborations in The Borderland

Behaving in New Ways

In a democracy, civility matters

Building trust takes doing…

Trust powers shared value on The Borderland

Doing in New Ways

Strategy answers 2 questions

A 30/30 commitment drives learning and adjustments

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
