  15. A Culture of Innovation • An innovative business is one that launches new products or services each year (15% of businesses are typically innovators) • Innovative businesses usually have high growth trajectory • When 50% of business are innovators you have an innovation culture

  16. Innovation Isn’t Always High Tech • A BBQ restaurant starts bottling and selling sauce • A dry cleaners develops a new “green” process and licenses the new process • A beauty shop develops a new way to train stylists and goes nationwide http://www.acenetworks.org/upload_files/file/Regional%20Flavor%20June.pdf

  17. Quality Connected Places Infrastructure that allows people and ideas to move freely and cluster easily • Vibrant public spaces and third places • Accessible broadband • Multi-mode transportation • Innovation hubs

  21. We need to move our thinking from events and “programs” to processes…. Communities are moving toward civic process that focus on Strategic Doing

  22. Strategic Doing Helps Build Networks

  23. What could we be doing together? Exploring our assets to find new opportunities What should we do together? Focusing on one opportunity at a time and defining, as clearly as possible, the “strategic outcomes” we want. What will we do together? Launching new initiatives by aligning our resources with “link and leverage” strategies. What are we learning together? Learning what works by executing and measuring what happens Strategic Doing

  24. Civic Networks… • Spot opportunities quickly • Mobilize assets strategically • Use resources effectively • Learn efficiently

  25. What Does Success Look Like? No Single Big Strategy Many Modest Strategies
