Strategic Doing in Twin Falls, Idaho

Yesterday, I was in Twin Falls, Idaho on the campus of the College of Southern Idaho (CSI). The College is nationally recognized for its leadership in economic and workforce development. South Central Idaho is one of the 39 WIRED regions (Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development) that is pioneering new approaches to workforce innovation.

Here's a map of the WIRED regions. We'll be meeting next week in Washington to share experiences.

For some time now, I've been working on new, open innovation models for transforming our civic economy. We've got some complex transformations ahead, but we can develop remarkable collaborations by following some simple rules.

Here are some places where you can find my work. This blog outlines some early thinking on the application of open innovation and Strategic Doing to the challenge of transforming our civic economy.

Purdue Center for Regional Development

The Purdue Center for Regional Development has become the hot spot for this work. Learn more.

Purdue keeps track of trends in economic development on the EDPro Weblog. You can also browse through the PCRD blog. You can also connect with PCRD on our Facebook page.

A spin-out from my work at Purdue, Strategy-Nets extends the work on open innovation in the civic economy to provide additional tools, strategy frameworks, and advisory services to communities and regions looking to improve their ability to develop and guide strategic collaborations.
