Innovation brands in high growth marketsShane Davies
The consumer LED lighting market is currently in the growth stage of its industry lifecycle, characterized by high growth and low barriers to entry. As the market moves into the shakeout stage, competition will intensify as weaker players are forced out. To succeed at this point, brands must establish strong brand recognition and differentiate themselves in a meaningful way to consumers before competition increases. Failing to build a brand that matters could lead to having to compete primarily on price when the market reaches maturity.

The document discusses the "The Tomorrow Plan", a 20-month regional planning effort for the Greater Des Moines area led by the Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization. The plan aims to coordinate anticipated growth in the region, which is expected to increase in population by 35% to 650,000 people by 2035. The plan will examine possible futures for the region through public engagement and identify a preferred future to guide investments and ensure long-term sustainability and livability. Regional planning is needed to align growth across municipalities as the region has seen patchwork development in recent decades.

The document summarizes the results of the Design My DSM project. It engaged the community, reached younger generations, and served as one of many opportunities for public input. Over 955 responses were received from residents across several central Iowa cities, with most responses coming from Ankeny, Des Moines, and West Des Moines.
The document discusses trends that will impact growth in Central Iowa, including rapid population growth comparable to California, uneven growth across cities, and demographic changes. Younger and older populations prefer more walkable, mixed-use communities over traditional suburbs. However, low-density development is financially burdensome for taxpayers. The region needs to plan for more compact, sustainable growth to accommodate future needs in a fiscally responsible way, as shown through the example of Sacramento, CA. Regional cooperation will be important to implement smart growth strategies that make infrastructure and development decisions that benefit the entire area.
The document summarizes a regional planning grant for the greater Des Moines area in Iowa. The $2 million grant from the Partnership for Sustainable Communities involves 17 communities and aims to create a comprehensive long-term plan over 20 months. The plan will address socioeconomic, environmental and development issues and engage the public to establish a shared vision for sustainable growth.
