The Big Shift, by @jhagel, @jseelybrown & @langdavison, argues that quality access to flows of knowledge are now more important than accumulated stocks. After vigorous debate, the class agreed with a recipe of 80% flow / 20% stock for today's businesses.

The HQ and labs of today's Fortune 100 companies bear this out: firms are seeking access to talent clusters to better observe new ideas and the latest tech developments. Most of the class saw this strategy persisting until at least 2030…
…but the increasing returns of megacities for young talent are checked, however, by exceptionally high rents and weakening quality of life (although they remain highly attractive). @richard_florida and others describe this:
Skilled immigration has been a key driver for the rise of these talent clusters and the increasing share of innovation inside of them.
and (you knew it was coming...), I yap about this a lot in my book, The Gift of Global Talent, a great stocking stuffer for your loved ones on St. Patrick's Day!
