Strategy3

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 Ford

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

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

Strategy becomes a collective habit of ongoing

conversation coupled with action, rather than an

event or a document

“Strategic Doing is the

methodology behind the

Digital Technology Hub

projects, including

Shoals Big Idea contest,

Tech Lions Coding

Camp, 3 Day Startup,

Shoals Idea Audition. I

invite you to come and

learn how you can guide

collaborations using this

innovative process and

achieve new levels of

success.”

Dr. Greg Carnes, Dean

“Following the principles of

Strategic Doing you can grow both

communities and businesses. A

small group of folks established

Medora, Indiana (pop. 631) as the

birthplace of the National Maple

Syrup Festival and no amount of

strategic planning could have

helped my business, Burton’s

Maplewood Farm, launch a

collection of artisan syrups,

favorites of America’s top chefs and

and sold at exclusive farmers

markets and other discriminating

outlets across the U.S. It took

Strategic Doing!”
