Breakthrough SolutionsBreakthrough Solutions is a premier community development program of the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service with partners in the public, private, and non-profit sectors of Arkansas. Our History: In 1996, this collaborative effort formed as VISION 2010, with the mission to build healthy sustainable communities for the 21st century. Key leaders from 21 communities went through a series of educational seminars and site visits, learning about Arkansas community development from a digital economy perspective. They involved over 9,000 citizens who invested over 32,000 hours in various community development initiatives, generating over $70 million in local funds invested, grants, appropriations, and taxes. In 2004, the name was changed to VisionWorks, in anticipation of the rollout of the exciting new program, Breakthrough Solutions. In 2008, the name was changed to Breakthrough Solutions What’s Happening Now: Breakthrough Solutions is based on the premise that in this time of rapid change, incremental improvements are insufficient for communities and regions to move forward and prosper. It offers a fresh approach to strategic leadership and innovation, drawing on research from multiple disciplines and widespread experience with successful Arkansas community development programs. The program is offered in formats tailored to meet the needs of a community, organization, or region, and is taught with experiential learning exercises and practical applications.
