With our partners at Nead Brands, we are developing some new ideas for innovating in the Midtown section of Cleveland. You can learn more about what's going on here. 

Our approach involves a practical application of "strategic doing". We quickly identify new initiatives and begin working on them. We are mutually supportive and find ways to move quickly. Resources, while limited, are not the obstacle. 

Instead, we are working to overcome bad civic behavior...First Curve thinking in a Second Curve world. Cleveland is blessed with many wonderful resources. Like many communities, our opportunities are less than what they could be, because a number of civic leaders are not accustomed to new ways of thinking and acting. We are overcoming these obstacles by modeling new behaviors. As one participant in our forums recently wrote, "Thank you so much for your work and for the opportunity to be a part of this amazing initiative."
