Download the slides: Intangible Capital, Banking, Jobs and Innovation

We had a great discussion at the IC Practitioners program on November 8 with two presentations:

1. Helena Tenorio and Joao Braga from the Brazilian Development Bank described how they have incorporated IC analysis into their credit process.  Banks and business people around the world can learn from their experience
2. Dr. Bill Miller talked about IC, innovation and job growth in the U.S. Bill contends that job growth will only come if we achieve breakthrough innovations in industries. More of the same won’t do.

Check out the slides for each of these at the IC Practitioners Group at the IC Knowledge Center.

Intangible Capital, Banking and Innnovation

Our IC Practitioners program on Tuesday, November 8 will kick off with two representatives from the Brazilian Development Bank describing how they have incorporated IC analysis into their credit process.  There is a lot going on in the Brazilian economy and it will be exciting to learn the activities in this bank.

Our second speak will be Dr. Bill Miller talking about IC, innovation and job growth in the U.S.

The program is a free, web-based program at the IC Knowledge Center starting at 8 AM EST (our audience stretches from California around the globe to Australia so we start early in the U.S.). Please join us!

Bernanke on Intangible Capital

Just catching up from the New Building Blocks for Jobs and EconomicGrowth conference in DC. I posted on Twitter pretty actively (or as Bernanke called it Tweeter) during the public sessions and then helped lead one of the four key working sessions (more on that in my next post).

We were thrilled to have Ben Bernanke as the keynote to open the conference. The core of his speech was about the importance of government support in research, a safe but important topic when talking about intangibles.

Seeing the hidden value in companies

How’s this for making intangibles tangible? This photo shows me sharing the summary graphs from two IC Value Driver Reports that we recently completed:

The photo was taken earlier this week at the Exit Planning Exchange Summit 2011.  The twist was that the legend for the graphs was hidden by a red pattern that could be filtered out with special glasses. Read more
