Ed Morrison Presentation Transcription 12-04-08

Ed Morrison, Economic Policy Advisor at Purdue University and Co-Founder & Director, The Institute for Open Economic Networks (I-Open) offers an introduction to Open Source Economic Development at the I-Open Leadership Retreat December 4, 2008 in Newbury, Ohio.

(Ed will be teaching the first Certificate course in Open Source Economic Development at Purdue University later this month. You can find out more here.)

I-Open Leadership Retreats bring education, economic, and workforce development leaders together to share new practices and tools to build networked economies and strengthen collaborative leadership habits.

Ed incorporates new insights about the shifts occurring in education, economic, and workforce development with clear examples of innovation in networked economies. Participants contribute their insights about patterns and trends they experience working with established and emergent economic systems.

I-Open Retreats practice an Open Source process by sharing and improving the relevance of the information discussed. Working this way strengthens trust between people in the I-Open community, lowering barriers to collaboration.
