Hennessy, Brown speak on "Changing Silicon Valley" at SPRIE Leaders Forum

Silicon Valley thought leaders John Hennessy, John Seely Brown and others spoke at SPRIE's Leaders Forum on Thursday, September 24, reflecting on the changing factors affecting the Valley's economy and how best to respond. "In a rapidly changing world where innovation and agility reign supreme," noted Brown, there is a "big shift" underway from an economy that is predictable and heirarchical--one that is based on scalable efficiency--to one that is dynamic and focused on knowedge flows and creation: an economy that depends on scalable peer learning. Brown's presentation can be downloaded and other materials from the forum will be linked as they become available.
