The Idea-Driven Economy
The first 100 years of our countryshistory were about who could build the
biggest, most efficient farm.
The second 100 years were about the raceto build efficient factories.
The third 100 years are about ideas .-- Seth Godin

Recipes combine resources innew and different ways
Nanotech : You start with building blocks likenanowires, nanotubes, and nanoparticles. Puttogether one way, these building blocks make acomputer. Put together in a different way, they makea biological sensor.
Biology is another example. You have a limitednumber of building blocks, like proteins and DNA.
Depending on how you put them together, you endup with a tissue, a worm, or a human being.

Applies to all companies,not just high-tech
Procter & Gamble names director of externalinnovationGoal: 50% of its innovation fromoutside the company in 5 years
Why? Inside more than 8,600 scientistsadvancing the industrial knowledge thatenables new offerings; outside are 1.5 million.
So why try to invent everything internally?

Three Things to Remember
1. The 21 st century will be driven by innovation.
2. Many of the factors that give regions and states an innovativeedge are creatednot inherited.
3. The new century will be a highly competitive oneespecially asplaces realize that key features are buildable and thus can behad by nearly any place that puts its mind to it.

Strategic, Sustained Effort
There was no single defining action,no grand program no solitary lucky
break, no wrenching revolution.Good to great comes about by acumulative process--step by step,action by action, decision by decision,turn by turn of the flywheelthat addsup to sustained and spectacular
results.
