As mentioned in the previous post the three key indicators that will be delved into a little deeper are; prosperity, innovation and commercialization. In terms of prosperity there are two indices that I like to refer to; The Legatum prosperity index and Richard Florida’s Creative Class Three T’s. In terms of innovation two references are also cited; The Conference Board of Canada and OECD. Finally and perhaps most importantly a review of that landmark document on commercialization: “People and Excellence, the heart of successful commercialization” by Joseph Rotman and the expert panel on commercialization.
