21. In neighborhoods besieged by complex, wicked problems, Strategic Doing creates hope through the power of taking action with the assets or gifts that we already possess. In that moment when we combine assets, we begin to tell a new story of opportunity and possibility, and it gives us the power to change our lives, our neighborhoods, and our communities. Bob Brown, Flint Resident University-Community Partnerships Michigan State University

26. Three of the proposals that emerged out of the Strategic Doing workshop were selected to move forward in the IU Grand Challenges initiative! That is out of a total of just 5 selected by the committee from 22 submissions university wide. Strategic Doing clearly paid major dividends for us.

31. The Strategic Doing (SD) approach might be one of the most effective ways of implementing change on campus. It effectively replaces strategic planning, a traditional pathway. At UW- Milwaukee, we have been able to move forward ten projects related to I&E transformations of curricula and institutional culture using SD. It is outcome driven, but more importantly, it is adaptive. Our diverse team of faculty and administrators have pivoted many times because of the continuous feedback that we analyze and plug back in into the decision making process. Ilya V. Avdeev, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering Founder, UWM Student Startup Challenge (SSC) Director, Advanced Manufacturing and Design Laboratory (AMDL) University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

34. In today's collaborative management culture Strategic Doing offers a tool that allows team members to advance ideas to implementation quickly. The Strategic Doing process selects ideas to which each member contributes and the results are potentially as powerful as experienced with Lean Management. Janyce Fadden, VP/General Manager (retired) Portescap/Danaher Motion
