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.

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.

One study looked at 7,000 different economic
predictions and found 47% of them was correct.

Building trust takes doing
Trust powers innovation
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.

Doing in New Ways
Strategic Planning Strategic Doing
Strategic Doing is a strategy
protocol built for networks
Alignments emerge
Strategy
answers two
questions.
A 30/30 commitment drives
learning
Strategic Doing Focuses on Small Wins to
Achieve Big Goals
Doubt and dwindling
motivation comes on
quickly when a big
goal is missed. On
the other hand, small
wins lead to the
progress principle -
more confidence,
high performance,
and motivation to
keep moving
forward.
- Teresa Amabile
• Think about strategy development strategy
differently
• Accelerate the collaborations
• Create and guide agile, asset-based
strategic action plans to meet a progressive
series of clearly defined objectives

Workforce Innovations in
Regional Economic Development
- Designed & guided 60+ collaborations
- Over 100 partner organizations
- Tracked over 200 metrics
- Hired 2.5 people to manage it all
- 80% of initiatives sustained
Kokomo, Indiana2008 = 3rd Fastest Dying US City
2014 = 3rd Fastest Growing US City
The key to success was that rather
than focusing on investing in the
right projects, we focused on
investing in the right collaborations
Is it…
scalable,
replicable,
sustainable?
