Leadership
Rallying industry, government and institutional
leaders into collaborative action, and involving many in a discussion
about how to incorporate quality of life considerations into cluster development
will embrace several hundred people in the region. The initiative management
structure reflects emphasis on involving community leaders in an ongoing
process.
The success of the initiative rests on
the ability for municipal, provincial and federal government agencies,
and industry and institutions to establish new collaborative approaches
and establish a new model of community development in the Calgary Region.
"Government" is taking a lead role in early stages of the initiative to
facilitate an initial process, but C-Prosperity has built in an expectation
that community, institutional and business leaders invest in and take
an ownership role of C-Prosperity and its ongoing implementation. This
expectation is founded on a belief that those who are closest to the challenges
we must meet and who benefit from action are best able to meet challenges
and in so doing enjoy the benefits of collaborative action.
C-Prosperity Management
Promoting Calgary Inc.
Board Comprised of a cross-section of
the corporate, institutional and social community in Calgary, the Board
(14 members plus two additional temporary members from the Calgary Regional
Partnership) assumes accountability for strategy development success
The Stewardship Group
Initially consisting of seven to 14 community,
business, and institutional leaders, this group will expand in Phase III
(Catalyze) to include Co-chairs from each of the cluster working groups.
This group is expected to take the primary leadership role in completing
strategy development and initiating and facilitating ongoing implementation.
The Cluster Working Groups
Five to seven cluster working groups will
be formed following completion of the diagnostic assessment of the Calgary
region economy. Clusters that are globally competitive or have growth
potential will be selected. Cluster working groups will be comprised of
key community, business and institutional leaders relevant to the respective
clusters
The Initiative Management Team
A working team has been established to
work with an external consultant, ICF Consulting, to obtain desired outcomes.
This team is complemented by two regional
appointments from the Calgary Regional Partnership.
The Advisory Group
Consisting of initiative funders, this
group will assist with initiative completion and consider service and
organization responses to cluster development needs.
