The Action Framework is Wired for Success:
From the very start of the development process, the Action Framework has been designed intentionally to avoid the shortcomings of previous regional plans. Our deliberate planning considerations include:
The Action Framework is bottom-up, not top-down — inspired and created by over 200 business leaders and informed by the voices of over 1,000 other leaders who participated in project surveys.
- The Action Framework is not a theoretical plan. It is a practical playbook that will stay off the shelves and on the desks of business leaders.
- The playbook starts with our region’s first-ever vision for the economy we are building. This vision is based on input from over 5,000 people across the region.
- The playbook has a clear focus — five core strategic initiatives to achieve our vision.
- Each imperative contains clear programs with specific action steps.
- The programs have clear duties and lines of responsibility for our lead business organizations — who does what, and when.
- A public performance dashboard and scheduled follow-up meetings will report on our progress and hold everyone accountable.
- An army of change agents — 1,000 business leaders — will actively advance this cause.
- We will demonstrate and celebrate success with early wins.
