2005: Purdue Testbeds Launched
Morrison brings the Strategic Doing model to Purdue and Purdue agreed to support the continued development of the model. Vice Provost Vic Lechtenberg agreed to “open-source” the intellectual property of Strategic Doing, if the model proved successful. Morrison and Scott Hutcheson, and Peggy Hosea form the initial core team for the development of Strategic Doing. They launched the initial Purdue testbed, a $15 million initiative to transform the regional workforce system. Testbeds continued with Purdue with NASA, Lockheed, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Fraunhofer IAO, and faculty at Purdue.
