Strategic Planning evolved to handle large

hierarchical organizations



21/43

Strategic Planning evolved to handle large

hierarchical organizations

A small group at the top

did the thinking

A larger group at thebottom did the doing



22/43

Strategic planning doesnt work because networks

have no tops or bottoms



23/43

We will find our pathways with Strategic Doing



24/43

Strategic Doing

Plan and action together

Strategic Planning

Plan but no action

No Strategy

Action but no plan



25/43

Strategic Doing guides conversations...The key

insight: People move in the directions of their

conversations

What Could

We Do?

What Should

We Do?

What Will

We Do?



26/43

Strategic Doing leads to Swarm Innovation...Many

innovations that link and leverage a regions assets

Disruptive Innovation Swarm Innovation

over 50 initiatives (each with metrics) in four focus

areas...with one administrator

With Strategic Doing, theres no separation between

thinking and doing..the strategic conversations are

continuous

34/43

Powerful new, on-line data tools inform and guide

strategic conversations, so we can do complex

thinking together



35/43

Business Clusters: Finding the Regional WealthGenerators

Occupational Clusters: Finding Regional SkillClusters

Competencies: Defining Core Knowledge, Skillsand Abilities

Regional Innovation Index: Measuring RegionalInnovation



36/43

Innovation and new growth is most likely to occur

adjacent to existing clusters within a

region...Example: Milwaukee 7 Water Cluster



37/43







38/43

Occupational clusters enable us to understand the

potential brainpower networks and how to redeploy

and strengthen them for new growth



39/43







40/43

In SE Wisconsin, we are working on competency

analysis to understand how knowledge, skills and

abilities can migrate to high growth occupations



41/43







42/43

The regional innovation index is the first innovation

measure based on county-level analysis

Innovation Index for Three Regions and the United States
