Why Creativity Can’t Wait
• North Carolina companies can no longer compete on price alone to stay ahead.
• N.C. lost 130,000 jobs in 2009 (276,000 since January 2008) and we are expected to add only 32,000 jobs in 2010.
• N.C. must think our way out of the recession by generating intellectual capital and rethinking design.
