Together, we will:
• Launch collaborative “applications” across each high-opportunity cluster, bringing together the brightest business minds to design and execute enterprise strategies with the interoperability of a well-integrated platform. • Query the system directly — talking to “end users” (enterprises) regularly to understand demand and the knowledge skills and attributes needed to fill that demand ensuring the system adapts in real-time to changing needs. • Continue to feed insights into the Datasphere — the region’s single source of economic truth — allowing the operating system to generate data-driven recommendations for policies and programs, like predictive analytics does in a smart operating system. • Publish real-time results, metrics, and KPIs — just like a system monitor — tracking enterprise growth, workforce dynamics, and innovation, commercialization and investment trends across clusters. • Drive a bold regional identity — installing a recognizable “interface” so the region isn’t America’s best- kept secret, but a visible, competitive economic destination for talent and enterprises that choose to locate and grow here. The Vision-to-Value algorithm is our programming logic. It always starts with vision—a vivid description of a better, higher-performing future state. And from that vision, EnterpriseKC, together with its partners, compiles, executes, and optimizes for value creation.
Now, imagine this region:
• Running a collaborative, unified system that persistently DRIVES enterprise development by identifying and scaling the highest-potential enterprises—regardless of stage, sector, or size. • Equipped with a decision engine that KNOWS, based on real-time data and demand modeling, where the economic lift will come from—and how to support it efficiently. • Elevating existing applications from area economic development partners, drawing from shared data pipelines, and system-level support, working together as orchestrated extensions of a unified system. This is economic development as deliberate system design—a strategic deployment of code, data, business- defined programs, and workforce-ready talent that generates returns like never before. Imagine the impact of building the next Cerner, Garmin, H&R Block, Koch Industries, Hallmark, Spirit Air, Seaboard, or JE Dunn — not by accident, but by system design. Imagine the region as the preferred environment to create economic engines around clusters such as advanced manufacturing, precision agriculture, plant and animal sciences, digital health, fintech-insurtech, and data analytics because the OS behind the economy is built to run them.
Imagine the possibilities.
With your help, this next-generation economic operating system and the returns it promises won’t just be imagined—it will be compiled, launched, and scaled into reality.
Let’s install the future and get to work.
