"Strategic Doing is a simple discipline for developing a strategy in open networks...For building the collaborations we need to prosper.
We are facing some daunting competitive challenges. To meet them, we need effective strategies now more than ever.
Yet, our approach to strategy is out of date. We are following habits developed thirty and forty years ago.
In today\’s world, prosperity depends on networks. Successful collaborations rely on networks. Innovation happens in open networks.
But how do we develop and implement a strategy in an open network?
How do we guide complex projects with loosely coupled collaborations? That\’s what Strategic Doing is all about." by Ed Morrison
The future of work is highly interconnected, fast-changing, and unpredictable. Leaders are living in a time of unprecedented change and solutions aren’t always obvious. Volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA) are lurking at every corner. To thrive in a complex world, leader’s need support in advancing their capacity to complex think. What is the secret to future proofing? Develop leaders to be bigger than your current and future problems. Join us to learn how!

Enhancing knowledge flows with enterprise social networks gordon vala webbGordon Vala-Webb
Organizations need to adapt faster - and that depends on the speed at which ideas and information flow through it. We look at Adrian Bejan's Design in Nature and his approach to knowledge flows and apply that thinking to email and enterprise social networks within organizations.

Broadband is essential to a thriving community – but it is not a panacea and it won’t work in a vacuum. Like a treadmill in the basement, broadband is only helpful when you use it. In this session, panelists from a variety of organizations working to support tech-based economic development strategies will discuss their own efforts, and provide the audience with ideas on how they can engage with their own providers around broadband-fueled economic development.
My slides for a course on Strategic Doing for the Economic Development Institute. I teach the fundamentals of strategic doing in an advanced strategy lab.

Strategic Doing is a new strategy discipline designed explicitly for open, loosely connected networks. By following simple rules, complex strategies emerge. These strategies guide collaborations toward measurable outcomes, while making adjustments along the way.
This document provides you an overview of Strategic Doing, the protocol for designing and guiding complex collaborations with simple rules.

A brief overview of how open networks are changing the game in regional economic development. A presentation before the Florida Economic Development Council in June 2011.
Slacktivism describes online activism that requires little effort and CAN, without marshalling the right strategies, fail to create real social change. Examples of slacktivism include “liking” a cause on Facebook or retweeting an online petition. While these actions are simple and require little involvement, in the hands of a good organizer they do have the potential to make a difference. In this session, we’ll explore how to move your online community from the slactivism to activism.
Takeaways
- Learn why slacktivism is an important step in engaging people more deeply in a cause
- Gain insight on how to amplify the impact of your campaigns by bringing newfound slacktivists to the next level of engagement
- 11 organizing principles to inspire your online community
Presentation made to the MyCharity Connects 2012 Conference, June 2012. Similar to the one I gave at SXSWi in Austin in March. (The theme . . . it's the organizers fault if people who 'put their hand up' on the social web don't do more.

11. Strategic planning evolved to handle the complexities of managing large hierarchies... like the military and Fortune 500 companies A small group at the top did the thinking A larger group at the bottom did the doing
12. As organizations have become more networked, older strategic planning models do not work so well. The reason: There is no top or bottom to a network.
14. Most places: People and organizations work in isolation trying their best Strategic Planning: A few people try to sort it all out (but it often does not work) Strategic Doing: A continuous process of aligning, linking and leveraging
15. With Strategic Doing, leaders guide open conversations to translate ideas in to action... Key Insight: People move in the direction of their conversations
16. Strategic Doing is simple, but not easy. It takes practice to keep focused on four key questions... What could we do together? What should we do together? What will we do together? How will we learn together?
17.
18. In hours, Strategic Doing generates all the components you need for a sophisticated Strategic Action Plan Strategic Doing is fast, flexible, low cost and (surprisingly) fun
19. Strategic Doing quickly generates “link and leverage” strategies Strategic Doing produces alignments, links and leverage A great example...The new Water Council in SE Wisconsin
20. Gorilla innovation: The One Big Idea Swarm innovation: Dozens of innovations that are aligned, linked and leveraged Strategic Doing produces swarm innovation
21. Southeast Wisconsin -- the Milwaukee 7 region -- used the core “link and leverage strategies to build its water technology cluster Milwaukee, WI
22.
23. We used Strategic Doing a core strategy for North Central Indiana Kokomo, IN
24. The Center for Education Innovation and Regional Economic Development -- the Milwaukee 7 region -- used Strategic Doing to define collaborations for disadvantaged youth Milwaukee, WI
25. Idaho used Strategic Doing in a Governor’s Workforce Development Summit Boise, ID
26. North Idaho and South Central Idaho used Strategic Doing in follow-up workshops Twin Falls, ID
27. The RIG Region across MN, WI and IA used Strategic Doing to launch their new strategy Winona, MN
