ECF Learning Clusters

ECF Learning Clusters is a process to approach cluster development not from structures but from the individuals’ point of view.

Why become a learning cluster?

Effective collaboration needs great processes to work its best for sustainable competitiveness. At best, a cluster can act as the engine and a tool of this movement towards great added value for business, continuous change and nonstop learning. But it all comes down to individual connections and interaction.

How does it work?

ECF learning Clusters is made up of four different phases. Our experts will facilitate the analysis of the status of the cluster based on the feedback of your cluster members, facilitate three initial development processes and train 30 members of the network to act as the primary engines of change in developing the learning cluster culture.

• Phase 1. CAPACITY: LC 360 analysis of the operational state of the cluster network. Through an online analysis tool, members of the cluster will create the LC360 internal status analysis of the operational capacity of the cluster.
• Phase 2. PEOPLE: Training process for a selected group of ’change agents’ in the cluster network. Over an individual training and development process, these 30 members of the group will gain new tools and new thinking to lead the continuous and committed change process in the cluster. 
• Phase 3. COOPETITION: Process development of three identified challenges. Based on the analysis in phase 1, we will start the development process of three of the internally identified biggest challenges of the cluster.
• Phase 4. GROWTH: What lies ahead? Closing workshop. During this closing session, the core group will define the new direction of the cluster process development and plan how to keep the positive movement alive.
