A slide presentation I gave to introduce a workshop on clusters for the Space Coast of Florida. More here: http://bit.ly/pKwHeA

1. Space Coast Cluster Workshop
August 23, 2011

2. Outcomes for Today
What we hope to accomplish
✓Think in new ways about the clusters
✓Understand the power of open innovation
✓Experience how to develop a strategy

3. The Big Picture Prosperity
How clusters -- innovating
networks -- can transform Productivity
a regional economy
Innovation
Clusters
Assets

4. Clusters transform our civic economy
To make our entire economy more productive

5. Clusters can create shared value
Vital to our productivity

6. Two tasks
1) Identifying clusters and 2) Activating clusters
Identification:
What are our assets and
how are they connected?
Activation:
What is our strategy and
what are our priority
collaborative investments?

7. Clusters can find opportunities quickly
Example: Milwaukee Water Council
