EDPro Weblog: Economic Development for Today's Professionals

Did you know?

Wednesday, March 21, 2007

Every EDPro should spend five minutes with this presentation. A colleague, Lev Gonick at Case Western Reserve University, played this video at the opening of a Cleveland 2.0 conference. A couple of days later, my friend George Robertson in Alexandria, LA sent me the same video.

Some Background on EDPro Weblog
The purpose of this weblog is to help economic development professionals -- EDPros -- keep up with the changes sweeping our profession. Strap on your goggles. It's a whole new game. There are no experts any more. The only place to learn about economic development is from other EDPros who are doing it.

One other point: the prevaling approach (paradigm, if you like) in economic development is shifting from competition to collaboration. There are a lot of reaasons underlying this shift, but here's the important insight: You, your community, and your region will do better by collaborating and sharing information.

So, spread the word...Share the knowledge. Tell a friend about EDPro Weblog.
