The Montana Photonics Industry Alliance serves as a hub for Montana’s optics and photonics companies, entrepreneurs, laboratories, and universities to commercialize, grow and sustain globally leading organizations that create high quality jobs and economic opportunity in Montana.  To accelerate its success the Alliance has chosen to more actively engage the Bozeman community through the process of Strategic DoingTM. Strategic DoingTM teaches people how to form collaborations quickly, move them toward measurable outcomes and make adjustments along the way.  In today’s world, collaboration is essential to meet the complex challenges we face.  Strategic Doing enables leaders to design and guide new networks that generate innovative solutions.  It is a new strategy discipline that is lean, agile and fast - just what organizations, communities and regions need to survive and thrive.
