IMplementation plan
This is a summary of the Implementation Plan for the Ohio Arts Creative Industry Workforce System3-OH (CIWS3-OH). The information we collect at the Design Lab 2015 will help us begin to form the next step - our Implementation Plan for the Workforce System. See the Timeline.
The Implementation Plan shows how OAC can invest in knowledge to connect people in quality places using creative, neutral spaces. (The full Implementation Plan is under separate cover. )

The "why" of the implementation plan:
- Identify core areas for professional development of emerging leaders.
- Formalize the opportunity to do professional development for emerging leaders.
- Promote creative mindsets to live in the corporate world.
- Show how the creative industries can market their skills.
An idea that underlies our strategy for the OAC Implementation Plan comes from Mario Marino’s 2011 book, “Leap of Reason: Managing to Outcomes in an Era of Scarcity.”
The idea is that most organizations want to make a difference, but don’t measure the good they do for those they serve. As a result, they don’t learn and improve what they’re doing. Mario Marino explains that organizations like this could solve the problem by using a logic model. A logic model features objectives, activities, and outcomes. If they went beyond objectives and activities by measuring the outcomes of what they do, they could improve their delivery methods. Here’s a graphic that depicts this logic model:

Measuring outcomes is Mario Marino’s “leap of reason.” Organizations could do this if someone would champion outcomes thinking. Once they started doing performance measurement, it would become imbedded in their culture. This can inspire a transformation from an era of scarcity to an era of abundance.
