Civic Collaboration
Convene & Align
DESCRIPTION | Strategic Doing is a
process for developing and guiding
networks through a new strategy
discipline that uses open networks.
Civic collaboration is at the core of thisdiscipline, creating a space for fast,
flexible collaborative work, and
linking and leveraging assets to
define new opportunities.
PRODUCTS | Introductory weekly
webinars; intermediate and advanced
strategy workshops on key Strategic
Doing skills; TRE services for ongoing
support.
At the core of transformative regional engagement lies civic
collaboration, a process of creating conditions for regional
collaboration and change. Civic collaboration includes elements such
as:
Creating a new regional narrative to motivate a shared identity
relevant to realistic aspirations,
Facilitating civic spaces to frame and encourage innovation withinnetworks,
Linking and leveraging regional players and assets in new ways
to create new forms of value,
Building an agenda for committed, strategic effort within action-
focused timeframes, and
Aligning strategies and efforts to frame a comprehensive regional
strategy
Innovation at the regional scale means opening networks andrelationships through trust and transparency. Leadership,
governance, and coordinated roles create the infrastructure for
innovation and collaboration in regional development efforts.
Connections must span business, industry, university, and nonprofit
stakeholders.

New Narratives & Networks
Convene & Align
DESCRIPTION | Sequencing of network
evolution is essential to the pace of
accelerated development. Narratives
evolve from a core group that includes
power and fund brokers, and thenmove to include networks of finance,
expertise, leadership, and growth
along with external networks that
bring in political and commercial
leverage. Increased density in
networks that bridge R&D and
commerce are essential.
PRODUCTS | Introductory weekly
webinars; intermediate and advanced
strategy workshops on key Strategic
Doing skills; TRE services for advice,
with focus on critical internal and
external financial, leadership, political
and commerce networks, along with
cross-pollinating strategies.
Regional leaders and residents formally and informally characterize
where they live in ways that shape their self-perception, as well as the
perceptions of outsiders who might take an interest in the region.
Transforming the narrative has the power to shift a regions self and
projected identity from a negative vibe about economic loss and
decline to a positive affirmation of hope and aspiration. Concurrently,
as strategies to pursue renewal take shape, regional players must
activate social networks critical to achieving the strategic vision. Theseinclude networks that provide access to social, political, financial,
technology, and innovation resources required to build the regional
economy.
This topic addresses the social capital needed to market and resource
the regional development strategy. Much like brainpower, innovation
and entrepreneurship, networks supporting regional innovation
clusters are distributed unequally across the rural-urban continuum.

Brainpower & Talent
The inflows and outflows of brainpower represent the most
powerful dynamic in innovation-based regional development.
Brainpower flows to regions with economic opportunities
creating winners and losers in regions across America.
Investments in research and development, companies that hire
innovative workers, and regional innovation clusters all serve as
mechanisms to attract and retain this most valuable of assets.
Conversely, regions without innovation infrastructure, with adecline or loss of their legacy industries, or without an
employment base to offer challenging jobs to their best
graduates find their brainpower hollowing out along with their
hopes for economic renewal.
Increased densities of brainpower occur from attraction,
development, and retention strategies. Aligning the K-20
development pipeline efforts with regional innovation cluster
strategies recognizes the interaction between brainpower and
innovation-related jobs.

Products and Services:
Innovation & Entrepreneurship
In the TRE model, innovation and entrepreneurship serve as the most
direct drivers for regional development. New products and new firms
strengthen companies and grow jobs. Top line revenues provide a
fundamental measure for American innovation competitiveness.
Innovation and entrepreneurship support regional growth, particularly
in regions historically-advantaged by supportive regional innovation
and brainpower assets. Less advantaged or siloed regions have
invested in institutions of collaboration or innovation
infrastructure whose purpose is to create R & D assets that sit
between and increase interactions between university or federal labpersonnel and private sector development staff. Innovation and
entrepreneurship include a spatial dimension critical to consider when
conceiving tailored innovation strategies that work across the rural-
urban continuum. Knowledge transfer is the critical driver for
innovation; and, while it can be place-independent, just the like the
humans who create and transfer it, knowledge exists in place.
Innovation and entrepreneurship play an important role within the
context of the TRE innovation-based regional development model.
While technology transfer is a well-known form of knowledge transfer,intellectual property is just one package for knowledge. Graduates,
interns, hallway conversations, commercial testing, and engineering
services offer a short list of other forms of knowledge transfer.
Innovation benefits from increased human interactions because
increased contact accelerates knowledge transfer, such as hiring
researchers, interns, or local graduates, co-creation of new ideas in
social relationships, and new companies built on increased trust and
synergistic partnerships. Knowledge spillovers advantage regions and
firms proximate to universities, labs, and innovation infrastructure.

Quality Connected Places
Regional innovation clusters grow up around quality, connected
places. These locales serve to concentrate brainpower,
innovation-based companies and jobs, innovation infrastructure,
knowledge transfer, positive narratives, and productive
networks. Amenities, community infrastructure, technology
infrastructure, community capacity building, knowledge-
producing institutions, and vital non-profit sectors all play roles
in forming communities attractive for innovation-based
development. The regional bottom line involves more than
economic measures to include social and environmental
characteristics. Creating or framing regional/community
incentives to attract and create this array of 21st century
economic drivers is essential.
Leadership from private and non-profit leaders supplies
important vision and continuity in medium and long-term
strategies to transform place. In addition brainpower, innovation
infrastructure, networks, and civic collaboration all come
together in quality, connected places. Regions and their
communities need strategies to manager how these factors
interact in serving as the basis for place-based strategies that
create a climate for innovation and growth.
Policies to strength place include:
Critical connections like quality healthcare and good K-12
schools
Alignment of policies and programs of place (such as
programs offered by the USDA, EDA, HUD, and the
Department of Education)
Building upon post-secondary and regional assets and filling
gaps for regional competitiveness
Models of collaboration for generating regional leadership 12
