  1. What should be Michigan’s new agenda?

  2. In the 20th century, the most valuable assets to job creators were financial and material capital. In a changing global economy, that is no longer the case. Today, talent has surpassed other resources as the driver of economic growth. Governor Rick Snyder Special Message on Talent December 1, 2011

  3. The purpose of the exercise: It is not simply to reduce the deficit, but to ensure prosperity. Solvency is vital, but it is not enough. Thomas Friedman Michael Mandelbaum That Used To Be Us

  4. In the long run, America will be richer than China only by having smarter citizens, and that requires the skills that come from schools and cities, not dispersed factories. Edward Glaeser New York Times Economix blog

  5. Our recommendations • Align Michigan culture with the flat world realities • Create places where talent wants to live • Ensure success of vibrant higher ed system • Reinvent K-12 education to align with new realities • Develop new public and – more importantly – private sector leaders

  6. Bottom line We must get younger and better educated or we will get poorer
