Now we must shift to a path for creating prosperity
Every few hundred years in Western history, there occurs a sharp transformation.

Our regions are covered with invisible fences that no longer work...but
continue to constrain us
How do we think and act strategically?
Strategic Planning evolved to handle large hierarchical organizations...It doesn’t work in networks
A small group at the top did the thinking
A larger group at the bottom did the doing
Result: A 3-5 year strategic plan that does not change and is hard to implement
Strategic planning doesn’t work because networks have no tops or bottoms
With Strategic Doing, there’s no separation between thinking and doing
Result: Strategic Agendas and Strategic Action Plans that are flexible and change with circumstances
In Stage 1, regions are:
‣Changing the mindsets from hierarchies to networks;
‣Starting new conversations and ending the “blame games”;
‣Learning the power of appreciative conversations;
‣Refocusing on our responsibilities to the next generation;
‣Building new habits of “closing triangles”
‣ Stage 1: Telling the story of transformation
‣ Stage 2: Promoting link and leverage with forums
‣ Stage 3: Practicing with Strategic Doing with workshops
‣ Stage 4: Organizing a Strategic Process, Agenda and Action Plan
In a network, people move in the direction of their conversations. Our job is to guide these conversations.
Guiding conversations in a network involves both open participation and leadership direction.
In a network, we build conversations from the core...Consolidate your base and then move off the high ground...

Regular forums introduce people to the possibilities of link and leverage
As trust and collaboration grow, so does the sense of possibility and the opportunity
In Stage 2, regions are:
‣Strengthening habits of civility‣Mapping assets‣Uncovering networks and gaps‣Participating in powerful learning experiences
‣Finding “warm spots” of potential innovation
‣Discovering the power of “linking” assets
to define new opportunities
‣ Stage 1: Telling the story of transformation
‣ Stage 2: Promoting link and leverage with forums
‣ Stage 3: Practicing with Strategic Doing with workshops
‣ Stage 4: Organizing a Strategic Process, Agenda and Action Plan

Strategic Doing quickly generates “link and leverage” strategies
Strategic Doing focuses on answering four strategic questions:
1.What could we do together?
2.What should we do together?
3.What will we do together?
4.How will we learn together?
Strategic Doing is simple, but not easy...It takes discipline, focus and practice
As the teams answer these questions, they generate all the components of a Strategic Action Plan
We introduce Strategic Doing through workshops that keep conversations focused. We use workshop exercises.
