Power of Ideas
From the Detroit Regional Chamber’s Mackinac policy conference:
It doesn't matter what forum one is in here at Mackinac; a common theme that comes through is the immense strength of IDEAS.
You hear it given names of the knowledge economy, conceptual economy, new age economy, etc. Whether it is Mary Sue Coleman, President of the University of Michigan, or Eleanor Josaitis of Focus Hope, they all are clear that the advances in our community will come when we take the power of ideas and translate them into new ways of working to solve complex issues, to develop new products and services, and to capture the imagination (and ultimately the involvement) of others.
One of the key themes coming from the conference is that those powerful ideas reside in Southeastern Michigan. Lifting them up, telling that new story and putting them into action is our next frontier.
