What's Key to Driving Economic Development in a Region?

A lot of factors contribute to economic growth.

However, when you have an overlap of 3 factors -- an educated workforce, investment capital, and networking opportunities -- the rate of business activity is greatly acclerated.

Business historian and Working Solo leader Terri Lonier labels these three factors as:

1. Human capital
   
2. Financial capital
   
3. Intellectual capital
   

and introduced me to the term she coined to represent this confluence as the nexus of capital.

I've found it to be a very useful term.

Consder the following questions:

How is your nexus of capital doing in your company and in your community?

What can be done to improve these factors?

Who stands to gain?

Whose cooperation, support, and influence would be beneficial?

How could you start today?
