Agile Strategy: A How-To Guide for Building and Nurturing Industry ClustersGIS Planning
Like attracts like. Success breeds success. Industry clusters are a boon to economic developers because of their magnetic effect on other businesses in the same sector, and the supply chain. But what do you do if you don't happen to be fortunate to already have a biotech, food processing or aerospace corridor in your community? According to guest presenter Ed Morrison, director of Agile Strategy, you go out and build one.
Morrison refers to his method as "strategic doing," accelerating network development in an intentional and disciplined way. This is different than the "analysis paralysis" methods of the past. It forms collaborations quickly by "linking and leveraging" assets across the network.
In this webinar, he discusses how to build regional innovation clusters, spaces where companies that share a similar competitive space decide to form a network, develop a strategic agenda to address common issues, and make anchor investments. This includes:
*Shifting the conversation towards collaboration
*Protocol for quickly building networks
*Developing a strategic, active agenda
*Managing this complex strategy with simple rules
*Identify different stages that clusters move through

ECOS: A Sustainable Future for Chittenden CountyRPO America
During the 2017 National Regional Transportation Conference, Charlie Baker discussed the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission's work. The organization created ECOS, a regional plan linking together transportation, economic development, and more.
The University of Texas Pan American and the University of Texas Brownsville are merging to create a new university: The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. The faculty and staff are interested in how Purdue looks at the role of the engaged university and how Strategic Doing can accelerate the formation of collaborations needed to strengthen this engagement.
Major research universities have three missions: teaching, research and engagement. This presentation makes the argument that engagement provides the lens through which to see how universities can transform.
Through engagement, universities can generate new flows of revenues to support both teaching and research. Engagement also provides new opportunities for research and more powerful learning experiences for students.
Deanna’s Input for Question 1As Chief Executive Officer of Ri.docxedwardmarivel
Deanna’s Input for Question 1:
As Chief Executive Officer of Riverside County, water resources are a top priority to ensure public needs are adequately being met for all county communities. Water is essential and a human right. Without water, life will not exist. The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottle water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, springs, and wells. It is extremely important to eliminate as much contaminants in drinking water for the public health. As such high demands in the county for clean drinking water, there is a need to create a new water management policy, which includes the development of a new drinking water treatment plant to respond to this critical need. The following steps are proposed to help coordinate the new water management policy.
The first step is to ensure that choices are rational and based on facts to the highest extent possible. This will help to reduce the tendency for decisions to be driven by individual and/or groups who may be motivated by personal and political interests. One way I would go about this task is to ensure the process is rational and use a policy development framework such as the Eightfold Path. The process includes the following steps.
Policy Development Framework – Eightfold Path
1. Define the problem – review literature to determine conditions that cause the identified problem.
2. Assemble evidence – review sources to ensure they are coming from a trustworthy scholarly source, for example: college or public library; peer-reviewed journal; and database which contains peer-reviewed journals. Additional reputable policy review sources include: Public Policy Institute of California; Legislative Analyst’s Office; United States Government Accountability Office; and the Congressional Research Service.
3. Construct alternatives – review and report on alternative policy options.
4. Select criteria – introduce evaluative criteria for the policy (e.g., efficiency, policy sustainability, political acceptability, etc.).
5. Project outcomes – develop outcomes matrix; include project outcomes that others may be interested in.
6. Confront trade-offs – conduct marginal analysis; clarify the trade-offs between outcomes associated with various policy options.
7. Narrow and decide – determine plausibility of proposed course of action.
8. Communicate and disseminate – ensure final narrative is digestible and not too technical in nature; tailor final report to meet the needs of county’s audience (community business owners, residents and environmentalist)
Stakeholder -
Due to high demands and the complexity of the issue, the challenge of creating a new water management policy would be best undertaken through a collective effort of government, private and non-profit sector leaders. Engaged leadership is extremely important for a successful planning process. Leading an effort to coordinate a new water management policy for t.

Strategic Doing and the 2d Curve: the Story of FlintEd Morrison
Bob brown, a leader in the Strategic Doing movement, explains how he has used Strategic Doing to transform neighborhoods in Flint over the past eight years.
Our universities need a redesign. The good news: the changes are not dramatic, and they can be managed. The bad news: those that do not change will be disrupted. Christensen warned us. (https://amzn.to/2vw484E)
The needed changes go beyond cost-cutting. It's a mind shift, a deep embrace of multidisciplinary approaches to complex, "wicked" challenges.
This shift has proven difficult. It requires three adjustments among faculty. First, they need to bridge their disciplinary divides and learn how to collaborate. Second, they need to move into what MIT professor Donald Schon called the "swampy lowlands" of real world problems. Third, faculty need to be open to the new forms of knowledge that are generated in the lowlands. (http://bit.ly/2PEB6qa)
Many academics spend their time publishing abstruse technical papers in obscure academic journals read by a few dozen people. Why? That's the one sure path to tenure and promotion.
In 1990 Ernest Boyer, published a seminal report: Scholarship Reconsidered. (http://bit.ly/Boyer1990). Boyer argued that faculty reward systems were too narrowly drawn.
It's time to recommit to Boyer's path and embrace new experiments in university design. We've been working on this challenge with our colleagues from Fraunhofer.
The 5 Focus Areas that Define Agile StrategyEd Morrison
This graphic defines agile strategy in more detail. Using an S-Curve to explain the life cycle fo a product line, a business unit, unit or a firm, the graphic highlights the five strategic focus areas that define agility.
Years ago, one of my mentors, David Morgenthaler, an iconic venture capitalist and founder of Morgenthaler Ventures ( http://bit.ly/2rXuF99 ), gave me valuable advice. To explain the challenges ahead, David told me, rely on the S-curve.
An S-Curve describes how living systems change over time. A sociologist, Everett Rogers, first applied these ideas to the diffusion of innovation in the 1960s. In the 1980’s a McKinsey consultant, Richard Foster, used the S-Curve in his book, Innovation: The Attacker’s Advantage.
In the 1990s, management thinkers Charles Handy and Geoffrey Moore made use of the S-curve in their writings. And more recently, two consultants from Accenture have written a book, Jumping the S-Curve, to explain how this simple model provides powerful insights.
Not surprisingly, then, as we begin building out a network of Agile Strategy Labs, I found the S-Curve a useful way to describe how management challenges shift over time.
There are four basic phases: 1) recombinant innovation 2) business model development 3) continuous improvement; and 4) release.
We are aligning our work to these phases. Here's an early version, as we work this through. Feel free to e-mail me with your thoughts at the College of Business, University of North Alabama: emorrison1@una.edu
This proposal outlines the major workflows needed to build out an Industry 4.0 Assessment. The Assessment would leverage Strategic Doing as a collaboration operating system and platform across the enterprise.
5 Things We Think We Know About Strategy -- And Why We're WrongEd Morrison
Strategic Doing is an agile strategy discipline for complex collaborations, open innovation and ecosystems. In the years that we took to develop the discipline, we learned a few myths about strategy that we'd like to share.
Lockheed: Developing an Ecosystem to InnovateEd Morrison
This presentation provides an overview of how the Purdue Agile strategy Lab developed an innovation ecosystem for Lockheed to solve a particular complex challenge.
Introduction to the Purdue Agile Strategy Lab January 2019Ed Morrison
This presentation gives you an overview of the activities of the Purdue Agile Strategy Lab. We developed Strategic Doing, an open source operating system for collaboration, open innovation and ecosystem development.
We also work closely with Fraunhofer IAO on innovation and technology management and with Human Insight, a Dutch firm that focuses on cognitive diversity in teams.
It is one thing to use the term “ecosystems” as a metaphor. It is quite another to create a new visual language to help universities and their partners see them. That is what the Purdue Agile Strategy Lab has been working on over the last few years. In partnership with Fraunhofer IOA based in Stuttgart, Germany they’ve develop a set of visual frameworks that can be used and adapted in efforts related to innovation, entrepreneurship, technology transfer and a wide variety of economic development-related strategies.
Jumping the Curve: Innovation in New JerseyEd Morrison
For the past 4 years, a team from Purdue and Fraunhofer has been working with the New Jersey Innovation Institute. Thinking of New Jersey as a testbed, we have piloted a number of pathbreaking initiatives to redefine the role of the university in the development of innovation ecosystems.
The concept of clusters has been around for nearly 30 years. However, not enough is known about how they form. Until now. The Purdue Agile Strategy Lab as focused on how to design and guide the conversations that lead to productive clusters. This article provides a summary.
Presentation: Jumping the Curve in WorkforceEd Morrison
For too long, we have trying to "fix" an adaptive challenge -- preparing for the future of work -- with technical, linear thinking. To jump the curve and design what's next, we need to think differently. The good news: We've figured out the simple rules of complex collaboration.
Jumping the Curve in Workforce DevelopmentEd Morrison
Designing new approaches to workforce development requires us to think differently. We should stop trying to fix old systems that were never designed to work together. Instead, we need to take a different perspective and design what's next. Here's a start.
Mahoning Valley Culture Initiative Strategic Action Plan v 0.1Ed Morrison
Compiled from the 90 minute workshop, this strategic action plan identified 3 opportunities to focus the strategy for moving Mahoning Valley forward.
On August 13, 2018, a representative group of arts, government, business, and civic leaders will come together with national advocates to develop strategies for amplifying revitalization efforts and mobilizing the Mahoning Valley’s cultural assets. A lunch conversation led by David Brooks, as part of the Aspen Institute’s Weave: The Social Fabric Project, began the session.
A Strategic Doing workshop led by Ed Morrison and the Purdue Agile Strategy Lab examined how collaboration can support economic development in the Valley.
A Look Inside the Purdue Agile Strategy LabEd Morrison
Interest in our work is growing dramatically. Why? Because more and more organizations are confronting a stark reality: the old ways of working together aren't working. At the Purdue Agile Strategy Lab we are pioneering practical solutions for complex environments.
These tools, frameworks and disciplines enable individuals, organizations and communities to confront complex challenges -- wicked problems -- with the confidence that they can generate innovative solutions. We are not fixing old problems. We are designing new systems.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
