So What Next?Total Economy- Today the reality economy Minus increased savingsMinus increased debtMinus bubbles in housing wealth and stock market wealthWith slowing growth in new income and new peopleEquals slow growth and new realities
So What Next?Global slowdown will push a weak recover to the edgeIn a national political year businesses usually hold their cardsHousing is close to bottom but “underwater” losses will drag it for several more years…probably slightly increasing sales but values will continue to slideJob growth will be slow…for a while Very Uneven- Regions that succeed will focus on strengths, be globally aware and engaged, and will understand the role of talent

Collaboration“The act of joining together to
