  • geographic proximity still matters, even down to the neighborhood level, even in the most technologically sophisticated talent pool in the US
  • It is all about talent development. No matter how talented any of us are these days, our talents must be continually and quickly refreshed and augmented if we are to thrive in this rapidly changing global economy
  • We all need to find ways to connect with people who are at the leading edge of relevant talent pools.
  • The ability to attract and retain talent from around the world drives the continuing success of Silicon Valley.
  • Place still matters in shaping talent development and competition. Place matters because density matters. Density increases opportunities for serendipitous encounters and sustained and rich collaboration. Place not only matters; it is becoming even more important and much more complex.
