How can you form public-private leadership groups to drive the development of our innovation ecosystems?

Consider the following:

• Is there an essential sequence, or “ingredient order,” that go into making a thriving innovation ecosystem?
• What tasks are best suited for this type of leadership group, as opposed to other institutions or stakeholder groups.

Which stakeholders and other champions are essential in achieving this strategic priority?
