Just a quick update on the global trek. I'll be departing to Helsinki on June 20 and touring Finland, Sweden and Estonia as well as various nations in the UK to see what makes people and organizations "tick" in the creative class regions (referencing Rise of the Creative Class by Richard Florida) and emerging tech centers of the world.
I wasn't intending to go to Sweden, but now I am as it turned up as #1 in a list by Richard Florida in the February 2004 Harvard Business Review (not available online to non-subscribers). Since the book, Florida has also studied western Europe and Scandinavia -- and Sweden outranks US in the creative class criteria.
