Positions and ideas are fine but do not get anything done. I am one of the volunteers touched by Strategic Doing here in my hometown of Flint, Michigan. I spent several days a few years back, with Ed Morrison and Bob Brown (and too many more to list here) and I learned for myself first hand, that when people are able to look at a same question and work toward its answer using only those tools and gifts they personally bring to the table, then all is well. We come to the task when we offer what we already have complete control over (and do not need permission from anyone to bring) in order to see our portion that answers the group question by getting things accomplished/answered and moving ahead in an orderly manner.The reason we have all our divisions in this country is that we drive past the exact people we should be connecting with, our neighbors, instead of going to a place to meet other like-minded individuals (who you have no idea where they live). If the power ever goes out, especially if it's taken out violently, we are going to DEPEND on our neighbor.If people learn the power of drawing ideas as in The Napkin Academy by Dan Roam, and join their local neighborhood website at Nextdoor.com and work with the community-building ideas that Peter Block brings in his book, COMMUNITY: the Structure of Belonging, along with John McKnight's work with Mr. Block to create The Abundant Community (book and website) AND THEN introduce the idea bringing all of this knowledge together to create a Time Bank in your neighborhood focused through the lens of Strategic Doing in that you are only doing what you are comfortable with, that's within your reach and as you meet every 30 (or so) days with everyone else to list off what you got done in the last month and set your sights again on the month to come and leave each months' meeting knowing what's expected of you is progress.Strategic Doing asks questions that bring you together in ways that encourage you to network. Not "network" in the ways of business and maybe a world away from the reality most of us know; which is not very 'businessy'. No time for that. But building networks that MATTER. Networks with people in physical proximity to you and with whom you can seek immediate answers from. Strategic Doing using all the methods I listed above are the Mission I've chosen for myself to pursue.I am a veteran and knowing I have Strategic Doing to implement the other aspects of this plan for this Mission gives me confidence. When I call upon my brother and sister veterans to stand up with me and enlist every civilian near them to get out and set religion and politics aside for a time and work to rebuild our communities, I know I will be well-equipped because Strategic Doing shows me the physical steps to move everyone into action with and as we know, everything is in the physical.We will never have successful economies without successful neighborhood communities. In the neighborhood I don't care who you voted for, I'll help you out of that snow bank you just backed into. In the neighborhood you get to be who you are and we stop future bad guys and girls from coming to be because we lived in safe and secure interconnected communities where all neighbors at least knew of one another and there were methods in place to help one another and out of THAT do come small businesses that may grow into larger ones.You want to corral community? It's like corralling cats. But Strategic Doing physically gives form to the formless.
5.0 out of 5 stars Strategic Doing to execute strong projects with little money
I just this book in a course on Strategic Doing taught by one of the authors. The model of Strategic Doing opened my eyes how a grass-roots movement can execute projects with existing resources, and how early signs of project success can pull in more people. A great resource if you want to plan and execute projects but you have no or little money to do so. I can absolutely recommend this book and the institute that promotes and teaches Strategic Doing.
5.0 out of 5 stars Strategic Doing Practitioner review
This book is excellent! Strategic doing is great for large projects and small - great to speed through meetings while still making progress on the project! The program is wonderful and works, but if you can’t do that get this book!
5.0 out of 5 stars Getting Things Done in the Volunteer World
For those of us who volunteer in community service and/or work with diverse groups of stakeholders consisting of dot_orgs, gov't and quasi-gov't orgs, and citizens working to build community capacity, Strategic Doing is a great choice for organizing collaborations and developing projects and programs that can be successfully accomplished. Employees in a business do what they are told and execute to the plan because they are paid to do so. Loosely affiliated organizations and individuals who gather to work towards a common cause are not necessarily paid to perform, so achieving consensus around an outcome and determining the bite-sized projects that make progress towards that outcome can be difficult - and result in plans that sit on the shelf and projects that fail due because they are too complex in scope. Following the Strategic Doing process can help ensure cohesion around goals and successful, incremental projects that achieve the goals, which keeps the participants excited and engage as they measure their successes. Having been involved with Strategic Doing projects, this book helps explain and expand upon the methods and process - the case studies are especially helpful! I bought extra copies for colleagues in community-leading roles to entice them to try Strategic Doing.
5.0 out of 5 stars An Book on Strategy
A tool for strategic thinking and implementation. A worthwhile book for those who take strategy very seriously.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Planning Tool
If a way to jump start a project and move to implementation quickly with participant engagement is the goal, this is the book to help get you there. The questions that guide the Strategic Doing process--What could/should/will we do?--are so amazingly simple yet so very provoking. This book helps explain how Strategic Doing can easily become the default method for problem solving in today's complex environment. The book is short and to the point, much like the concepts that it describes. The major steps in the process are cleanly described and examples provided for real-world application. I love the whole process of strategic planning and Strategic Doing is a fresh approach that makes is fun, engaging and ultimately effective. The final Strategic Doing question--What's our 30/30?--is what moves planning to action...What did we do? What worked? What needs to change? What's next? What will you contribute? What you should do next is explore Strategic Doing and this book is a good place to begin.
A gem of a book and a must read!

The present is unclear and the future is uncertain. There is Chaos and it is Complex – many different, interconnected factors come into play. Today’s organisations and teams, within or outside, need to understand how effective collaboration looks like and how it lends itself to accelerated innovation.Strategic doing presents a practical guide to navigating this new world. A gem of a book and a must read for anyone interested in Agile Leadership, Collaboration, Strategy Execution, Innovation to learn this new discipline of leadership strategy designed especially for open, loosely
Strategy made practical and useful.
If nothing else, read this book for the four questions it offers. There are few books that talk about the importance of conversations, and this is one of them. Second, it does a great job of creating a guide for navigating complex problems. Worth the read.
