Leadership: cluster activists

FIRST PEOPLE, THEN STRATEGY

A sense of belonging

NOT a traditional association

Cluster Chairman: the good

• Leads a team of leaders (10-15 value chain driven)

• Strategic vision• Helps, coaches and demands to cluster

manager• Provides own visibility as a platform for the

cluster’s

Cluster Chairman: the bad

• Big ego, no team player• Lobbyist• No time dedication• Jealous of cluster manager• Selfish taking advantage of cluster visibility

for own interest

How far can you go?

Governance Facilitation

• 2 year rotation (chairman)• Coaching to chairmen• Specific Training to cluster board members (4

sessions, 2h each)• Cluster people from public agency in the board

as facilitators (no voting rights)

Chairmen Annual Meetings

• Align clusters strategy to cluster policy• Accountability of cluster program• Direct dialogue between cluster companies

(chairmen) and policymakers• Exchange of best practices and failures on

governance

Compromise vs Conviction

A Well-engaged Cluster Board Won’t Guarantee Success, But Ineffective

Boards Help Ensure Failure

Thanks!
