Episode 0017: Hacking the Roundtable

Show Notes

• - Host: Dan Hugo
• - Summary: The second cohort of the Genius Roundtable is coming to an end this month, and so it is time to hack the table and see what we do next.

• 
  

How it started

• - A need to understand the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem of Greater Vegas by people who are on the ground, being entrepreneurs in situ.
• - A companion need, to determine what does and does not work as the ecosystem moves forward with various top-down economic diversity intents.
• - Develop this expertise as part of an effort to establish a cadre of Entrepreneurs in Residence, who will have studied the ecosystem and established a working knowledge from experience and examination.

How it goes

• - The First cohort was off to a good start, but waned at the end
• - The Second cohort has not been as connected
• - There is no plan for a Third or Fourth cohort in the current mode

How to Hack a Reboot

• - Consensus would be helpful but not necessarily essential moving forward
• - Community of Practice seems ideal, since this is not a job, nor a classroom
• - Broad goals without task ownership or responsibility reduces the need for accountability
• - Actual achievement counts, not the road to it, leaving those seated at the roundtable responsible for their own progress and contribution to the ecosystem and its understanding
