Main Outcomes

Introduction to Modern Cluster Thinking

Around the world, there are about 7000 clusters. Most of these are built around the traditional Triple Helix thinking. Use the Intro to give people a snapshot introduction to new, modern thinking on Innovation Superclusters.

Basic Overview of the Five-Point or Pentagon Model

The Supercluster: Intro is based on original research from MIT, and evolved further with research from Harvard and BI Norwegian Business School. While the research is both solid and exciting, we also accept that most people will never read it. The Supercluster: Intro aims for simplicity, reach, and quick understanding. People quickly get an introduction to and an overview of the Five-Point Model, and that matters.

Get Started on the Early Supercluster Development

For most, the key outcome is simply to get started. Use the Supercluster: Intro in any early-stage effort to get started on your Supercluster initiative. Understand how all five stakeholders are critical to your future cluster success.  Once you have the basics, you can upgrade to Supercluster: Launch or Supercluster Strategy Map as the natural next steps.

Use Case: Swiss Innovation Superclusters

During 2018, we worked intimately with the Swiss ecosystem to explore the potential for a new generation of Swiss Innovation Superclusters. Meeting with 100’s people across finance, family offices, local government, startups, corporates, media, and economic development, we needed one simple, easy-to-grasp visual that allowed us to introduce the core concepts of an Innovation Supercluster quickly and easily.

The Supercluster: Intro was the perfect tool for the job.

Over a few months, the Supercluster: Intro helped 100’s of people, with zero experience in cluster design or cluster development, quickly understand – at a high level- what a Supercluster was and why it would matter to Switzerland. The Supercluster: Intro played a significant part in shaping successful engagements, workshops, and 1:1 meetings across the swiss ecosystem.
