On this episode of Bottom Line IT, host Mike Maddox of ASK sits down with a panel of business cluster experts including, Bob Trezise and Keith Lambert of Lansing Economic Area Partnership and Carol Lauffer of Business Cluster Development.

Carol shares the baseline features and elements of clusters, while Bob and Keith then detail the real-world ways the Lansing area is leveraging the cluster concept.

You need more than a geographic concentration of businesses of a related industry in order to be considered a “cluster.” You need assets to drive your success.

A business needs access to good resources to grow. But according to our panel, it’s not enough for a firm to be connected with these assets. They also need a unified dialogue with the other firms in their cluster. That way they can shape those assets to fit their unique needs.

Give these six segments a listen for all the details on clusters.
