3. Why Maps? Why Ecosystems?
• Maps are mental models
• What can we do with them?
• (What should we do….)
• What can go wrong?
• What can go right?
Tweet us! #nacce2013
8. How can we use ecosystem maps?
• Micro
– Who do we want to connect with?
– Who should we?
• Macro
– How do we help grow/defrag our community?
• Psycho?
– World domination! LOL but…
Tweet us! #nacce2013
11. What can go wrong?
• “8 maps”
• Idaho’s sordid saga… in 3 verses
• Jim Collins was right…
• You may not like what you learn
• P.S. this is NOT easy
(and not for amateurs?)
BUT……..
Tweet us! #nacce2013
12. What can go right?
We understand our ecosystem. Really.
We can identify the key leverage points.
Who should we help?
Build trust.
Perfect role for community colleges

14. The NACCE-inspired “Defrag” Process
• Remember the Google map?
– Map (A)
– Listening Sessions *‘Visioning’+ (B)
– Align Resources
• Remember the sociogram?
– Gatekeepers vs Connectors
– Connectors vs Liaison-Animateurs
tweet us! #nacce2013
15. So where are YOU?
Where do you want to be?
Where you NEED to be??
tweet us! #nacce2013
16. • Identify key stakeholders
– Who should you be helping?
– Not who you want to help?
– Need map to get started
• Identify testable value propositions
• Test the MVVPs!
• Learn -> Pivot -> Repeat

17. Your Competitive Edge

18. Hints
• Brad Feld & Kellogg & Kauffman & EDA & ….:
Bottom-up, inclusive, people-centric…
entrepreneur-centric
• Help connectors. BE a connector,
• BE a liaison-animateur!
• To get started? Be a CONVENOR
• But how? Some tools for your toolkit:
tweet us! #nacce2013
19. A few tricks… and caveats
• Distinctive Competence (not Core)
• Surveys –
– connectors, gatekeepers... and who deserves help?
– Triggers? [http://bit.ly/map_ecosys ]
• Visioning/Listening [happy to share more offline]
– Accentuate the positive: AI, ABCD
• Are we there yet?
– Metrics - process and outcomes [http://bit.ly/EcoSys ]
tweet us! #nacce2013
20. And a few more…
• "no more amateur night"? (Build the “C-Team”)
• The 3 (4?) C's: Competent, Connected, Collegial (and ??)
• SAOSW!!
• "Straw man" framework: Jumpstart alignment
• Convenors get loved?
• Celebrate. Educate. Initiate.
• Big Omaha model: www.BigOmaha.com

39. Step by Step- let’s build one together
External Partnership

market?
– Map your Resources- Identify the partnerships as
well as the players

(Hot, Warm, Cool, Cold)

accomplish in entrepreneurship?

– Depth: Is it formal outcomes (hot) based partnership
or an awareness type relationship (cold)
– Frequency: How often do you have interactions.
Co-located and share clients (hot) or just a ‘LinkedIn’
connection (cold)
– This can help you focus your relationship building
efforts.
47. Map your Resources- Identify the
partnerships as well as the players
