U.S. Competitiveness: Paths Forward

On March 5, 2012, Harvard Business School held its first Paths Forward event in New York, NY, convening more than 600 alumni and leaders from academia, policy, technology, health care, manufacturing, labor, finance, and nonprofits in a discussion about U.S. competitiveness. The Paths Forward events are part of the HBS U.S. Competitiveness Project.

In the coming months, HBS will host subsequent Paths Forward events in economic centers around the country and world. At the events, we'll explore a range of commitments business leaders could take, from improving the skills of U.S. workers through an apprentice program to increasing the amount of local sourcing, or bolstering regional strength by joining a cluster competitiveness initiative. We invite you to join the conversation in your region, in the Forum and using the hashtag #USComp.
