closed down in June 2010
We formed a new cluster in renewable energy
Next stop, Flint, 2012
We held our largest 3 day Strategic Doing training in Flint, 2014
Strategic Doing gives us the power to change our lives, our neighborhoods and our communities

We used Strategic Doing with our partners to transform engineering education at 50 universities
Pathways universities are developing or have launched over 300 collaborations using Strategic Doing
New or redesigned courses
Infrastructure (new classrooms, IP policies, etc.)
Non-credit learning (workshops, intenships)
New or renovated makerspaces
Competitions
Credentials (minors, certificates or degrees)
Consolidations of I&E activity across campus

“The Strategic Doing (SD) approach might be one of the most effective ways of implementing change on campus.”
Ilya V. Avdeev, Ph.D.University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
“The Strategic Doing approach had a significant impact for us in helping us move faster… It keeps the whole team focused on outcomes.”
Magda Lagoudas Executive Director of Industry and
Nonprofit Partnerships College of Engineering
Inspired by this work, we have won a $2 million NSF award to transform Purdue’s Mechanical Engineering Department using Strategic Doing, 2015
We have helped the board of the American Society for Engineering Education to transform the organization
We have begun integrating Strategic Doing with Fraunhofer innovation and technology management
We began integrating Strategic Doing with Fraunhofer innovation and technology management, 2014
Universities face complex challenges of converting knowledge into money

Universities must move from hierarchical to network-based thinking and doing

Strategic Doing
A strategy protocol can migrate assets from hierarchies to networks
We are using this approach to assemble diverse teams to address Grand Challenges
We are designing new collaboration platforms
Key insight: Strategy in complex environments involves following simple rules
When followed, simple rules create a swarm
Simple rules can create alignment out
of confusion and conflict
Self-directed teams learn by doing with a process that is lean, fast,
and agile
We start here:
Strategy in open networks involves two simple, but not easy questions
Strategy emerges from questions and commitments
We convert these questions into a discipline of 10 simple rules
45
Following the rules, teams design strategies in hours and quickly summarize them on maps
They learn to present their strategy in as little as 2 minutes
Teams design an interactive process so strategies become sharper with experimentation and learning by doing
“The best methodology I have seen in 20 years.”
Paul Collits Former President
Australia New Zealand Regional Science Association
In today's collaborative management culture Strategic Doing offers a tool that allows team members to advance ideas to implementation quickly Janyce FaddenVP/General Manager (retired) Portescap/Danaher Motion

Strategic Doing allows a business to quickly identify an interested ecosystem of local businesses that have a collective interest in and capability to solve a defined customer problem.

I’ve worked with large companies trying to do open innovation, but the Strategic Doing process is unique. This is the most clear and concise open innovation process I’ve seen.
