SLIDE #7- The OAC Creative-Industry Workforce System is a utility-scale workforce development project. The system is comprised of technology-supported social intelligence feedback loops that inform transformative enterprise for social innovation. The OAC Creative-Industry Workforce System connects Ohio based creative talent and industry to new business development opportunities. The OAC system generates Ohio’s creative-industry knowledge economy.

  1. (OAC ONE DAY LAB introduces Ohio artists to the OAC Creative-Industry Workforce System, OAC Professional Development Curriculum and the OAC Creative-Industry Network. These are core components in a larger education, skills training and workforce development system to centrally position Ohio artist talent and leadership in economic development.)

  3. OAC INTERVIEWS AND CONVERSATION DATA informs artist entrepreneurs, partners, projects and the community-at-large.

SLIDE #8 - 
  1. OAC CREATIVE-INDUSTRY WORKFORCE SYSTEM DATA SOURCES-The OAC Workforce System generates unique and varied types of digital data essential to the efficacy of incremental system change. This data is used to track a spectrum of user feedback and network health. The data provides unique information about network member identity, “crowd” sentiment, collaboration success and failure, and types of projects, for example. Data offers us the ability to track what it is we wish to measure across the system and is the source of OAC Creative-Industry Workforce System content marketing.
  2. OAC DATA is unique because each piece is a signal or marker of investment value through the lens of the Innovation Framework. This is accomplished through content collection and curation process, and is how to connect collective insights and innovations to affect community and economic development.
  3. OAC Workforce Data System is supported by a strategic social media toolset. This toolset orchestrates the release, measures audience responsiveness, and collects member insights and suggestions, for example, that can be tracked as social media analytics.
  4. Over time, the effectiveness of an OAC Professional Development Curriculum can be measured on the population in relationship to successful attainment of goals and dynamic program improvements, for example.
  5. Measurements based on quality and volume of enterprise development affecting community and economic development can be tracked, for example.
  6. There is no limit to “putting data to work” by leveraging the production of quality digital data, network responsiveness and data’s ability to give voice to each individual and the larger collective story
  7. “Metadata” is “data about data”. Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metadata
