‣ Where are we?
‣ How did we get here?
‣ Where are we heading?

That started in our Grandfather’s generation

Our Grandfather’s S- Curve started with relentless innovation
And is ending with financial manipulations
We are left with some legacy systems that do not work very well...
High rates of 3d grade illiteracy
High school drop out rates over 30%
Too many high school graduates with weak skills and no career plans
Not enough graduates for “Middle Skill” jobs
High rates of college remediation
Too few STEM graduates
Really expensive re-entry programs
No easy way out for the working poor
High rates of adult illiteracy
Weak skills among many unemployed
Escalating skill demands in the career cycle
Conclusion: We’re not likely to fix this mess...(We’ll have to innovate)
‣ Where are we?

How did regions deal with challenges in our Grandfather’s economy?
How are most regions dealing with these challenges in today’s networked world?
Our challenge is to find the pathways to our Grandchildren’s economy
Connecting our many assets with “link and leverage” strategies
‣ Where are we?
