Industrial/Economic Realities- Three Lenses

The “Productivity” View

Source: US Bureau of Economic Analysis

The % of GDP growth has been driven by increases in the Workforce and value added per worker (Productivity)

• To match the GDP growth of the past 20 years and the rising living standards of past generations, the United States needs to boost productivity growth from 1.7 to 2.3% a year.

– Slower growth in workforce >> needs higher growth in productivity

• There is large untapped potential to increase productivity and growth in the United States

Productivity Growth by Industry Sectors


• Productivity gains in the public/regulated sectors,

– Healthcare delivery systems reform

– Energy productivity challenges

– Renew aging Infrastructure, e.g., over the past decade, the U.S. slipped from the 7th to 23rd in the quality of infrastructure

• Doubling down the investment on innovation

- e.g., to match the innovations from 1850-1950?

• Education: Develop the U.S. talent pool to match the economy of the future

To Boost Productivity Growth..


Productivity & Competitiveness

Engineering Degrees in the U.S.

National Need and Future Competitiveness

• OECD ranked the U.S. 27th out of 29 industrialized countries in the % of students in ENG– U.S. (4.5%)

– Singapore (39.1%), China (33.3%), Korea (25.4%), Japan (17.3%)

– Finland (20.9%), Germany (12.8%), France (13.8%)

– U.S. has 600,000 unfilled positions in tech fields

• A National Call to Action– U.S. Council on Jobs and Competitiveness

– Calling for 10,000 More Engineers/Year

– Led by CEO’s of Intel, GE, and DuPont, with more than 65 companies committed

What is facing the next generation?

–New industrial/economic realities

–New technological frontiers

–Grand challenges of our time

Big Data: What it is?

• Datasets whose size is beyond the ability of current database software to capture/store/manage/analyze.

• It’s not defined in terms of being larger than a certain number of terabytes.

• As technology advances over time, the size of datasets that qualify as “big data” will also increase.

• Vary by industry sector; depending on software tools commonly available and sizes of datasets handled

• “Big data” in many sectors today will range from a few dozen terabytes to several petabytes.

Big Data and Analytics

• Coupled with sophisticated analytics can substantially improve decision-making.

• Create, store, and analyze massive transactional data to make better management decisions

• Allow ever-narrower segmentation of customers and much more precisely tailored products/services.

• Improve the development of the next generation of products and services


Big Data and Analytics

• The use of big data will underpin new waves of productivity growth and consumer surplus.

• While the use of big data will matter across sectors, some sectors are set for greater gains, e.g., finance/insurance; government; healthcare; manufacturing

• By 2018, the U.S. alone could face a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 people with deep analytical skills as well as 1.5 million managers and analysts with the know-how to use the analysis of big data to make effective decisions.
