Last spring, The Kauffman Foundation held a panel discussion with a group of EDPros. The topic: What are the important lessons that effective entrepreneurial support organizations follow? The conclusions are not rcomplex...The guidance is more on the level of "Put the shower curtain on the inside of the bath tub."
One dimension that is important: The report recognizes the importance of developing networks to support entrepreneurs. Again, there is nothing startling here. The challenge, of course, is deciding how best to develop these networks quickly and effectively. (Those are some of the tasks we tackle with Open Source Economic Development.)
