<!--[if !supportLists]-->I. <!--[endif]-->REALNEO

REI looking to develop tools
that NEO community can use. Bring tools together to build virtual communities
that will enable regions to develop new patterns of civic behavior.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->A. <!--[endif]-->Tuesdays
at REI are all about taking off with new ideas

<!--[if !supportLists]-->B. <!--[endif]-->Other
people looking for help in development

<!--[if !supportLists]-->C. <!--[endif]-->Notion
that creative industries can be drivers of economic development

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. <!--[endif]-->Treat
businesses as engines of economic development.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2. <!--[endif]-->Any
economic development institution cannot tell you the real role of organizations
in economic development.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->3. <!--[endif]-->Blaire
government took on looking at creative industries as wealth generators in
advanced economies.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->4. <!--[endif]-->This
strategy has been adopted by many municipalities in Europe.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->5. <!--[endif]-->Businesses
driving around digital media are becoming wealth generators as well as creative
assets, starting around 2000.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->a) <!--[endif]-->Creative London

<!--[if !supportLists]-->b) <!--[endif]-->Creative Edinborough

<!--[if !supportLists]-->c) <!--[endif]-->Creative Ireland

<!--[if !supportLists]-->6. <!--[endif]-->In
New England, this idea has taken root; primarily in Providence,
RI around 2000

<!--[if !supportLists]-->7. <!--[endif]-->Rise
of the Creative Class 2000, Richard Clorida

<!--[if !supportLists]-->a) <!--[endif]-->He has presented his arguments without reference to
what has gone on before.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->b) <!--[endif]-->Says 30-40% of workforce in creative industries.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->c) <!--[endif]-->Problem is that everyone is creative; not a
non-creative class; language of creative class gets us off in the wrong
tangent.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->d) <!--[endif]-->Europe thinks of creative arts
training in brain development that are important to literacy in a digital age.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->D. <!--[endif]-->Basic
opportunity in NEO

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. <!--[endif]-->All
creative assets popping around in UC, so we have creative assets.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2. <!--[endif]-->We
are not thinking of these organizations as economic generators, but as quality
of life cultural park.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->3. <!--[endif]-->Need
to see UC as opportunity to create wealth

<!--[if !supportLists]-->4. <!--[endif]-->Need
many creative ideas; this is what REI is designed to stimulate.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->5. <!--[endif]-->Creative
industries in NEO represents one of a handful of opportunities to transform our
economy.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->a) <!--[endif]-->Healthcare

<!--[if !supportLists]-->b) <!--[endif]-->Sustainable Industry

<!--[if !supportLists]-->II. <!--[endif]-->Frank Fantozzi

<!--[if !supportLists]-->A. <!--[endif]-->President
Planned Financial Services, LLC

<!--[if !supportLists]-->B. <!--[endif]-->Not
involved in arts or cultural arts

<!--[if !supportLists]-->C. <!--[endif]-->Background
is investments.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->D. <!--[endif]-->On
board of CCC Foundation

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. <!--[endif]-->Gave
talk on needs of their campus

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2. <!--[endif]-->Trying
to create an economic agent out of the creative industry.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->3. <!--[endif]-->Looking
to do an expansion on the Western Campus.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->a) <!--[endif]-->Re-Wrote proposal from the standpoint of what causes
things to become an economic engine in NEO; generate revenue.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->b) <!--[endif]-->Cleveland
knows what they have.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->c) <!--[endif]-->Lots of good things happening.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->d) <!--[endif]-->What would I like to see developed in NEO to create a
permanent, ongoing event.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->e) <!--[endif]-->Need people and school offers people.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->f) <!--[endif]-->Critical Mass: Cleveland has great little institutes
and little groups but they are all competing for the same small slice of a pie;
not forming a critical mass and becoming more regional/national.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->g) <!--[endif]-->Premise was to create a cradle to grave center for
people that want to get involved in the arts or entertainment, including
“behind the scenes� people involved in the process.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->(1) <!--[endif]-->Costume
design

<!--[if !supportLists]-->(2) <!--[endif]-->Lighting

to put in one place where all art forms could be found.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->4. <!--[endif]-->Go
to College Campus; don’t find too many college campuses in disrepair.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->a) <!--[endif]-->Take work of all different institutions and put under
one roof.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->b) <!--[endif]-->Entertainment is one of fastest growing industries in
the nation; Cleveland should be a
part of this; arts & entertainment center will draw talent and expertise to
the school.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->c) <!--[endif]-->Inadequate training in film industry; lack the
facilities.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->d) <!--[endif]-->Create synergistic multi-cultural environment.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->e) <!--[endif]-->Imagine having all fields of arts with representatives
under one roof.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->f) <!--[endif]-->No reason for High School people to stay in Cleveland
for education; center would help keep the high school students here.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->g) <!--[endif]-->Currently no programs for very talented artists.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->(1) <!--[endif]-->Invite
Talent from High School to enhance arts education.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->(2) <!--[endif]-->Come
to campus for advanced arts training.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->(3) <!--[endif]-->Kids
are plugged into your school

<!--[if !supportLists]-->5. <!--[endif]-->Create
an economic Incubator

<!--[if !supportLists]-->a) <!--[endif]-->Translate work into an economic reality.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->b) <!--[endif]-->Teaming business community of NEO to work with center
to take ideas and projects and help them to create a business plan to take it
to an economic reality.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->c) <!--[endif]-->By creating a campus in NEO, there will be an area
where economic development will be stimulated.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->d) <!--[endif]-->Draw in payroll/jobs.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->6. <!--[endif]-->What
would it take in size/money to make this work?

<!--[if !supportLists]-->V. <!--[endif]-->Ed Morrison

<!--[if !supportLists]-->A. <!--[endif]-->Challenge
Cleveland faces is broadening
perspective away from a hierarchical mentality.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. <!--[endif]-->This
is a fundamental legacy of the industrial era.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2. <!--[endif]-->Industrial
era was about large organizations taking control of resources and generating
wealth.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->3. <!--[endif]-->This
has created a civic culture of hierarchy.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->B. <!--[endif]-->Still
see hierarchical mentality which stifles new ideas and maintains control.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. <!--[endif]-->Need
to think of arts in networking terms.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2. <!--[endif]-->Can
get to scale by building bigger organizations.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->3. <!--[endif]-->Now
can get to scale through networks.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->4. <!--[endif]-->Opportunity
to build networks.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->C. <!--[endif]-->Openness
and trust required for networking

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. <!--[endif]-->Diversity
viewed as strength.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2. <!--[endif]-->Building
scale through network; taking new ideas and talk about how existing
organizations can come to scale in a different way.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->D. <!--[endif]-->Cleveland
Author “The Experience Economy�, Jim Gilmore

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. <!--[endif]-->Saying
that creating an experience is what consumers are expecting.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2. <!--[endif]-->Through
time we are creating more value as we move toward experience based economy.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->3. <!--[endif]-->Re-thinking
our UC assets, we can think of “room full of art� as an opportunity to create
learning; create training.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->4. <!--[endif]-->Frank
and Gerome are asking us to infuse creativity into our education. How do we do
this?

<!--[if !supportLists]-->5. <!--[endif]-->How
many times have you seen ideas trashed because they were not invented in their
backyard. This is why people become discouraged and they leave.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->E. <!--[endif]-->Creative
Arts Industry

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. <!--[endif]-->Need
to think things through in a new way, because of the legacy of huge boards and
institutions.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2. <!--[endif]-->Go
to Paris or to Florence,
you buy one ticket that gains you entry into many theaters; selling an
experience.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->3. <!--[endif]-->We
will need to look at relationships in a new way.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->4. <!--[endif]-->What
would it be like if you had a virtual campus as opposed to just one physical
campus.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->F. <!--[endif]-->Frank
belongs to a network group of 15 people. There are only 5 who really actively
participate actively in group.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. <!--[endif]-->Idea
of center not to take resources away from other institutions; willing to let
them partner under one roof for synergy.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2. <!--[endif]-->Tri-C
Jazz Fest is example of collaborative success. This extends beyond the Jazz
Fest at Playhouse Square,
encouraging people to go other places to experience Jazz. Good example of
collaboration and networking.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->3. <!--[endif]-->Need
brainstorming session in addition to feasibility study in regard to the center
for the arts under one roof.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->G. <!--[endif]-->Comment
made about thousands of CCC programs that no one knows about. Chances for kids
to participate are difficult because of the issue of critical mass.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. <!--[endif]-->Looking
to programs impacting more children per dollar.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2. <!--[endif]-->Funding
drives are now collaborative, where they were not so in the past.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->3. <!--[endif]-->Looking
to provide arts infused program for every child in the city of Cleveland.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->4. <!--[endif]-->This
program is not being disseminated because of outside power struggles.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->5. <!--[endif]-->Suggestion
made to use existing factory or other building along Euclid
Corridor and leverage that resource as opposed to building a giant new center.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->6. <!--[endif]-->Norm
commented that the Richmond Brothers
Building has enough critical mass
to find use for physical spaces to serve technical communities or artistic
communities.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->7. <!--[endif]-->REALNEO
is about creating social network that gets away from the rigid social hierarchy
that is the legacy of the industrial age.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->8. <!--[endif]-->Looking
at networking model, see progress taking place logarithmically, rather than the
linear progression associated with conventional hierarchical social systems.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->9. <!--[endif]-->Paul
is economic development director for Cuyahoga
County.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->a) <!--[endif]-->Had enough money for 9 grants and had 60 applications.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->b) <!--[endif]-->Do not need more space, but need more cooperation
between the various entities. Tom Shore
has been responsible for strongly promoting arts in area.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->c) <!--[endif]-->Follow-up: Does
Arts Cleveland High
School teach arts to depth that Poise does? Not
to that degree. Poise has far wider range of pathways.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->H. <!--[endif]-->Ed
asked if a follow-up session should be held where we take 2-3 hours to take an
in-depth look at strategies to carry on this discussion further.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. <!--[endif]-->Ed
said it may take 2-3 weeks to get this together.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2. <!--[endif]-->Would
like to learn more about what Cleveland Public Schools are doing.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->3. <!--[endif]-->What
are some of the specific initiatives we can pursue to push this process forward
at a faster pace.
