== Strategy 1: Create a Digital Leadership Lab<br/> ==
The Digital Leadership Lab will prepare students and businesses for digital leadership and a digital leadership culture. The lab is based on the research of the LeadershipGarage, which examines how executives can effectively operate in a modern, digitally networked work environment and shape their environment accordingly. The latest scientific findings will be used to train leaders and students as drivers of digital innovation.

== Strategy 2: Create a space for coworking / design thinking<br/> ==
Establishing an interdisciplinary work space that accomodates multiple teams and formats of co-working would help bring together various departments within the university that are currently not well integrated. While securing enough space for several teams is a longer term goal, we can currently utilize part of the digital leadership lab for design thinking and using physical materials.

== Strategy 3: Use the digital leadership lab to connect students to regional companies and entrepreneurs<br/> ==
Entrepreneurship and innovation require inspiration and support. We think it would be great to have a consistant partnership with a number of local companies in order to provide students a connection from theory to practice. Incorporating these companies into events and the digital leadership lab will ensure that students and companies will be well networked and have a good understanding of the local problems that they could solve together.

== Strategy 4: Raise Awareness of the Lab and Leadership / Entrepreneurship Offerings on Campus<br/> ==
Simply creating these resources will not be enough. Students must be constantly informed of their presence and we need to make it clear what value we can bring to them. This will require the fundamental incorporation of student perspectives as well cooperation with other disciplines.

(How effective is the design? Is the message reaching students? Are they interested in getting involved or do we need to better market the incentives of visiting the lab and programs? etc.)</span>
