This presentation gives you an overview of the activities of the Purdue Agile Strategy Lab. We developed Strategic Doing, an open source operating system for collaboration, open innovation and ecosystem development.
We also work closely with Fraunhofer IAO on innovation and technology management and with Human Insight, a Dutch firm that focuses on cognitive diversity in teams.

4. Agility enables companies to jump S-Curves…
But how does company become agile?

5. Companies also face adaptive challenges…
Complex messes with no clear technical fix
6. Example: the Navy asked Lockheed to develop
a roadmap for deploying predictive
maintenance across the destroyer fleet
7. Problem: Lockheed’s Surface Naval Innovation
Center did not have access to all the technologies
needed to address the challenge…
8. We proposed the idea of a platform on which
Lockheed could form fast collaborations with
outside companies to solve the problem

We used this drawing to explain to Lockheed
executives how a strategy process would unfold
10. We delivered on our “open innovation” promise
by using Strategic Doing to build trust among
20+ companies working on the roadmap
Ten Skills
of Collaboration
Strategic Doing Cycle
Ten Rules of Strategic Doing
12. Conversation shifts.--
Collaborations begin to form
with conversations among
companies that share a
similar “competitive space”.
Participants begin testing
ideas about colabrotion.
Network forms.-- As focused
conversations continue,
common interests emerge.
These shared interests drive
conversations to deeper
detail. Connections among
!rms become stronger.
Strategic agenda emerges.--
Members of the emerging
network begin to focus on
strategic opportunities.
These opportunities emerge
as !rms “link and leverage”
their assets.
Anchor investments made.--
As the collaborations form,
members develop a strategic
agenda: a portfolio of
investments to strengthen
themselves through
collaboration.
Collaboration continues to
invest, adapt and expand.--
Connections within the
network become more dense
and spontaneous. New
shared investments build out
the collaboration.

Strategic Doing accelerates the formation of trust
at scale by moving companies through a
rigorous process
13. Strategic Doing solved Lockheed’s challenge of
identifying potential partners. We also provided a
clear path for participants to follow.
