Description: Innovative changes in the production and delivery of goods and services have accounted for the resurgence in productivity growth in the U.S. economy over the last 15 years. These changes have been driven by the convergence of computing, telecommunications, and connectivity and globalization. We expect that continued innovation will be driven by these factors over the next decade. Key topics: * What conditions do organizations need to innovate and capitalize on opportunities? * How can we create a better environment to innovate in our region? * What role can the UW-System play in this process?
