|title=Your Innovation and Entrepreneurship Ecosystem
|content=<br>
[[File:Session3-banner.jpg|750px800px]]<br><br>
Consider three things as you map your innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) landscape:<br><br>
'''1. Look at the entire institution, regardless of departmental boundaries'''<br><br>
'''2. Look at your off-campus, regional ecosystem'''<br><br>
There are many champions in the region who would love to meet you and see you succeed in your mission to make the university a more creative, innovative and entrepreneurial place. They may serve as speakers, mentors, champions and funders. While they're likely to be supportive of your quest to help all students hone their entrepreneurial mindset, they're likely more interested in startups and new venture activity. Regions surrounding colleges and universities are always in search of ways to leverage the university as an asset for job creation and economic development. Watch the following video synopsis of Brad Feld's book StartupVille to get his take on vibrant startup ecosystems:<br><br>
Traditional relationships in academia between administration, faculty and students are hierarchical. As Feld says, if the hierarchy tries to drive the startup culture, it essentially stifles it. Fellows around the world are creating a network, at the grassroots, which is essential to leading a culture shift that is inclusive and encourages creativity, risk-taking and fearlessness. Be mindful of the current culture. These changes don't happen overnight, but rather through your entrepreneurial actions, outreach, events, and student activity that is lifted up, encouraged, promoted and celebrated, regardless of the outcome. Consider the ways a culture shift can begin to happen at your school.<br><br>
'''3. One size doesn't fit all'''<br><br>
|title=Deliverable 1: Landscape Canvas
|content=<Br>
Watch the video to learn how to complete the Landscape Canvas:<br><br> {{#widget:Youtube|id=jgu7ueU_sNk|width=75%800|height=600}}<br><br>This week you are required to present the Landscape Canvas to your uiguide. Share new insights you gained about the ecosystem, gaps you perceive and strengths you can build upon. Your uiguides will ask you for your initial hypothesis about how you believe those gaps can be addressed. These could be in the form of new learning opportunities - curricular or extracurricular. They can also be in the form of a campaign. You can search through [[:Category:Guides|"How to" guides]] for inspiration from other Fellows. In some instances, you are going to have to think really creativity about *new* solutions custom designed for your institution's context. Your mentors will be thinking partners to help uncover resources in your local community, regional strengths and potential partnerships.<br><br>{{Fmbox|image=none| style = border:5px solid dimgrey; background-color:lightgrey;|text=
*'''Where is my landscape canvas?'''<br>Each school has their very own Landscape Canvas template within their campus folder in the Google Drive (find your's [[2023:Training/Start Here|here]]). DO NOT DOWNLOAD TO EXCEL, but rather keep it as a Google Sheet. Submit the completed sheet by the end of week 2.
