Supercluster Structure 2.0
The Supercluster Structure 2.0 is a visual organization chart for young or aspiring Innovation Superclusters. Use it with your board to create a visual overview around your growing cluster. Should you have a small or a large team? Should you be developing Innovation Groups? Who should lead them? We often recommend using this as a part of a larger cluster strategy process. It works well together with the Supercluster Strategy Map or Cluster Leadership Map.

Main Outcomes
Build the Organization You Actually Need
Most people are new to Superclusters. They have a different understanding, sometimes very different understanding of how a Supercluster actually works. Few have ever built, staffed, and led a Supercluster before. Use the Supercluster Structure 2.0 to build the organization you want and need – together.
Move from Strategy to Execution
Supercluster strategy is easy. Execution is very hard. Use this tool to shift from strategy to execution. Who does what by when? Do we have the people we need? What are the roles to be filled? Should we focus on R&D managers or Business Developers in Asia? Many Innovation Working Groups or just a small core team?
Bridge and Align Very Different Stakeholders
Superclusters are made up of diverse stakeholders with different agendas. That lies in the very nature of innovation clusters. Use the tool to create better strategic conversations on priorities, focus, and staffing of the Supercluster.
Snapshot: How to Use It
The tool allows you to discuss, design, and build the Supercluster organization. We suggest there are 13 different roles that Superclusters can fill. The mini-case below shows a Latin American Supercluster, with nine board members. CEO is Carmen, with five full-time staff. The strategy is geared toward business development, startups, and investor capital; a much-needed combination in many cluster environments.
