“The world is now our manageable landscape. Connections are made East-to-West, North-to-

South with many nodes in between. But The Innovation SuperHighway is not only a physical infrastructure, albeit technical and electronic. It

is human – a function of insight, interaction and imagination resident in the minds, hearts and

hands of people around the globe.”- Amidon 2003

Foundation for SustainabilityFoundation for Sustainability1. Education -- life-long learning is a sine qua non for a

knowledge-based economy. Distance education is a promising tool with which to pursue life-long learning. Learning is a real-time daily activity.

2. Health and resilience of natural ecosystems – requires development of indicators for the pressures on, extent of, and output by agricultural, coastal, forest, freshwater, and grassland ecosystems. As civilization expands, hazards from natural disasters increase.

3. Eco-efficiency in the production and consumption of goods and services – environmentally benign to alleviate the impact of further economic growth on world ecosystems.

4. Energy -- to power economic growth -- conservation and exploration of environmentally friendly sources of energy(the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is emerging as a regional as well as a global problem).


Foundation for Sustainability Foundation for Sustainability (Cont(Cont’’d)d)5. National income accounts – extension to include

environmental impacts and make realistic the consequences of contemporary patterns of production and consumption.

6. Intellectual property rights (the knowledge-based economy is transforming legal and measurement standards).

7. Delivery of health care -- now entering an era of profound change in which integration with the sciences and sharing of newknowledge and its applications to health care are increasingly important.

8. Community networks -- to foster interactive participation by individuals at all levels -- local, regional, and global --indigenous communities to major urban centers.

Knowledge is the limitless and expandable source of economic wealth. Intellectual assets –effectively exploited through innovation – are the most valuable resource to manage.



Value is created when knowledge Value is created when knowledge moves from the point of origin to moves from the point of origin to the point of highest need or the point of highest need or opportunity.opportunity.


Innovation encompasses the full spectrum from idea creation to commercialization and successful innovation is converting knowledge flows into marketable goods and services.



Collaboration for mutual leverage Collaboration for mutual leverage provides optimal utilization of provides optimal utilization of tangible and intangible resources tangible and intangible resources within and across boundaries. within and across boundaries.


Collaboration replaces the competitive (win/lose) paradigm prevalent today. Win/win benefits are based on pooling and leveraging competencies - knowledge, know-how and skills.
