2040年的大奥马哈

人. 的地方. 繁荣.

自2017年2月起, the Strategic 4Sight (S4S) initiative – launched by the 大奥马哈商会, 中部联合劝募会 and Urban League of Nebraska – has worked with hundreds of people across the region to identify the area’s most critical trends and plausible futures. 人，地方，繁荣是我们的主题. It’s based on what’s coming, who’s coming and how we can establish ourselves as a world-class region. 这对我们的未来意味着什么.

我们向往的未来
It’s 2040 and Greater Omaha has emerged as one of America’s great next-generation regions. 以文化多样性和私密性著称, 公共和民间部门对创新的承诺, 创业与卓越, 该地区是一个高增长/高科技经济体, a net importer of talent that has amassed an impressive record of “best places” accolades.

The area is known as a place that treasures each individual and businesses have the talent they need. The regional economy is robust and growing with an aggressive startup scene and a diverse collection of internationally-recognized businesses, 中小企业, and corporate headquarters – all of which recognize ethical practices as drivers of profit.

战略方向
这是一个合理的、雄心勃勃的、繁荣的未来. 有效地执行战略, 我们必须从关注人开始, building a sense of place and using targeted economic development to grow a prosperous economy that benefits all residents. The following strategic direction will set the course for success and enable us to meet whatever headwinds come our way.
合作伙伴关系 & 利用
It’s in our region’s DNA to work hard, be pioneers and help our neighbors. From homesteading to barn-raising, our history is about clearing new ground and working together.

This plan was fueled by that same spirit of partnership – the 大奥马哈商会, 中部联合劝募会 and Urban League of Nebraska working together to elevate our economy, 我们都在尽自己的一份力量.

We think of 人 的地方 繁荣 like a new era of pioneering and homesteading. 我们需要各种各样的合作伙伴愿意与我们共同努力, 分享我们的愿景, to clear new ground and raise an occasional “barn” – whether it’s venture capital for start-ups or the number of internships offered to college students – to take our talent, 我们的地区和经济更上一层楼, 确保所有人的更大繁荣.

Our history shows that when we can see a vision and work together, amazing things are possible. 下一个20年将会带来什么? 只有我们知道答案.

第一原理
第一原则是用来指导决策的. They allow innovation by leaps, an antidote to incremental progress-based-on-experience. 人 的地方 繁荣 is a bold new chapter, a significant jump. Agreeing to these first principles gives us flexibility in our tactics while ensuring we’re faithful to the vision.

原则1:朝向愿景

基本原理:当选择追求哪些机会时, 我们需要问, “这与我们对员工的愿景是如何一致的, 的地方, 繁荣?“大奥马哈商会可以做很多事情, but it must choose to do things that will have the most impact toward our vision.

原则2:做大蛋糕，不要小蛋糕

理由是:丹佛, Nashville and other highly competitive areas have agreements that prioritize the region’s best interests over any individual agent or municipality. The principle is to grow the pie (cooperation) rather than cut the pie (competition).

原则3:强有力的伙伴关系

Rationale: Greater Omaha’s future is dependent on working beyond silos. 人, 的地方, 繁荣 was born out of a unique partnership between the 大奥马哈商会, 中部联合劝募会, 以及内布拉斯加州城市联盟. New and unconventional partnerships will be required to bring this vision to life.

原则4:每个生命都是平等的

Rationale: Greater Omaha’s future requires each person reaching his or her full potential. This is why we want to close the equity gap and raise the region’s standard of living. 这就是为什么我们选择支持多元化和包容性的努力.

原则5:实验和机会主义

理由:如果我们想要不同的结果, 我们必须承担风险, 快速原型, 并与不同的伙伴进行新的组合. We have to be the change we want to see throughout our region and be prepared to take decisive action when an opportunity presents itself.

关于这个项目

自2017年2月起, the Strategic 4Sight (S4S) initiative – launched by the 大奥马哈商会, 中部联合劝募会 and Urban League of Nebraska – has worked with hundreds of people across the region to prioritize the trends facing our region and imagine a future vision and course of action. 查看过程.

We’ve proven that we’re a great place to live and raise a family. 我们在经济发展方面获奖. 我们曾多次出现在“最佳”榜单上. 现在我们必须向自己证明, 然后是世界, that we have the economic vision and muscle to expand our economy in ways that result in higher wages, more sustainable economic growth and more people reaching their potential.

We believe in the power of prosperity – not under our breath but publicly and unapologetically. Paths to prosperity for all citizens allow each of us to care for the immediate needs of our families, 为我们自己和我们的孩子确保一个强大的未来, and engage in making Greater Omaha an even better place to live, 工作和娱乐.

This initiative was developed collaboratively and it should be shared and used in that same spirit. 这关乎该地区的潜力. 用这个愿景去激励和行动. 齐心协力，我们将取得更大成就.
