  7. Topic Overview • What is grow your own economic development? • Why is this form of development important? • What are the distinctions of grow your own models from traditional attraction based development? • What is an entrepreneurship ecosystem?

  8. Economic Development Matters Definition of Economic Development “…commonly described as the creation of jobs and wealth, and the improvement of quality of life. Economic development can also be described as a process that influences growth and restructuring of an economy to enhance the economic well being of a community.” – International Council of Economic Development

  9. Economic Development Matters “Fostering a dynamic environment where economic opportunities can be discovered, taken advantage of and maximized to their fullest extent to create balanced and sustainable growth, a positive sense of ‘place’ and an improved quality of life in a defined geographic region.” – Dell Gines Grow your own economic development focuses on creating a local economic development ecosystem that supports the creation, growth and longevity of businesses to achieve economic development goals.

  10. Why Grow Your Own Models of Economic Development? A few reasons why grow your own development is a powerful tool: • Entrepreneurs create jobs, increase local incomes and wealth (Henderson, 2002). • A higher ratio of entrepreneurial activity is associated strongly with faster growth of local economies (Barth, Yago & Zeidman, 2004) • Entrepreneurs connect communities to the larger, global economy. • Local entrepreneurs are more likely than branch plants to reinvest their wealth locally. • Entrepreneurs create a sense of place. • The cost of job creation is lower (Edmiston, 2006) • Entrepreneurship allows our emerging senior populations to continue to be productive and add economic value to local economies. • Grow your own development is a more feasible way to develop traditionally economically challenged areas. • Grow your own development helps create diversified economies. • This kind of development is just a better “fit” for certain communities.

  11. Development Model Distinctions

  12. The Five C’s of the Entrepreneurship Ecosystem

  13. The Transparent Ecosystem

  14. The Dense Ecosystem Ecosystem #1 - Sparse Ecosystem #2 - Dense Are the programs, policies and activities sufficient in number and type to meet development goals?

  15. Entrepreneurial Opportunity Cost Simply stated, an opportunity cost is the cost of a missed opportunity. – inc.com How more productive could our businesses be if they had more time and energy to focus on growing? The strongest entrepreneurship development ecosystems do the best job of allowing existing and potential entrepreneurs to spend more time and energy 1) focusing on building the business and 2) becoming more effective business owners rather than wasting time figuring out how to get support, information, and resources to build the business.

  17. Final Thoughts • The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City’s role is to simply provide information and help exchange ideas and conversation. We do not make economic development recommendations but can make connections to other agencies or resources. • Each community has to develop their own unique and particular development strategies that fits their region and goals. • Grow your own models of development can be a valuable addition to your development strategy contingent on your goals.
