Decision-making in higher education institutions is infamously slow, with multiple layers of approvals and an emphasis on the need for new resources. Strategic Doing's focus on what we could, should and will do with the existing talents, resources and authority of the people in the room at the time breaks people free of that limited thinking and helps them move forward in real time.

Working with small, struggling rural communities and regions presents a number of challenges, not the least of which is a sense of hopelessness and defeat. Using Strategic Doing we have been very successful in helping them achieve tangible results that re-ignites their belief in the future and their ability to impact that future. These communities are now in control of their future and are seeing significant, positive change.

When Strategic Doing is incorporated into the culture of an organization it is possible to not only drive new innovation and more rapidly achieve desired objectives, but at the same time energize a team or teams to achieve more with less individual effort. Those that approach Strategic Doing as a practice will learn new strategic approaches and tools to more effortlessly manage growth or strategic change of an organization.

emphasis
In neighborhoods besieged by complex, wicked problems, Strategic Doing creates hope through the power of taking action with the assets or gifts that we already possess. In that moment when we combine assets we begin to tell a new story of opportunity and possibility. Strategic Doing gives us the power to change our lives, our neighborhoods, and our communities.
