Huge Opportunities for Innovation — Corporate intangible capital is ready and waiting

Although the economic recovery is slowly building up steam, there is still a lot of work to do. For one thing, we need the economic recovery to turn into a jobs recovery. To do that, we need to start doing things differently. Solve new problems. In a word, innovate.

That’s why I am thankful that Ken Jarboe just revisited Business Week’s piece entitled Obama’s 25 Ways to Rebuild America. When I read this list, I get excited because it shows how many opportunities we have to fundamentally innovate and rebuild our economy: Read more

Open Response to PwC and the UK Financial Reporting Council

David Philips, whose Corporate Reporting Group at PriceWaterhouseCoopers has stuck with the challenges of reporting year in and year out, just posted about a new report from the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) called Louder than Words: Principles and actions for making corporate reports less complex and more relevant. In support of the report, PwC has written a letter suggesting concrete action plans to make that happen.
