Strategy = the employment of battles to win the war. - General Carl von Clausewitz

I will build a motor car for the great multitude. It will be so low in price that no

man will be unable to own

one. - Henry

In 1928 Henry Ford’s River Rouge Plant in Dearborn, Michigan became the world's largest industrial complex, pursuing vertical integration to such an extent that it could produce its own steel. In this year he also established “Fordlandia” his rubber tree plantation in the Amazon Rainforest

Strategic Doing enables people to form action-oriented

collaborations quickly, move them toward measurable

outcomes, and make adjustments along the way.

There is no top or bottom in a network

Innovating networks produce increasing returns

Mathematics says the sum value of a network increases as the square of

the number of members. In other words, as the number of nodes in a

network increases arithmetically, the value of the network increases

exponentially. Adding a few more members can dramatically increase

the value for all members.

Strategic Planning Strategic Doing

Strategic Doing is a strategy protocol built for networks

Strategy answers two questions.

A 30/30 commitment drives learning

Strategy becomes a collective habit of ongoing conversation coupled with action, rather than an event or a document

The Strategic Doing (SD) approach might be one of the most effective ways of implementing change on campus. It effectively replaces strategic planning, a traditional pathway. At UW-Milwaukee, we have been able to move forward ten projects related to I&E transformations of curricula and institutional culture using SD. It is outcome driven, but more importantly, it is adaptive. Our diverse team of faculty and administrators have pivoted many times because of the continuous feedback that we analyze and plug back in into the decision making process.

Strategic Doing can guide transformation both within universities and the regions they serve.
