Harvard University just
released a report titled
Investing in Innovation about their impact in the greater Boston-metro area. It's impressive indeed since this university is our most venerable regional institution and an absolutely key player in our innovation economy. I'm especially inspired by this effort since I personally ran
MIT's own Founder's Project in the 1990's -- together with my excellent colleague
Alex Chisholm -- which ultimately led to the
MIT: Impact of Innovation report, a rather larger, nation-wide accounting of the impact of MIT-related entrepreneurship and innovation. Beyond that, I can both appreciate the work involved in accurately characterizing "impact" as well as inspiring future "action". Kudos to Harvard for conveying their local story reasonably well. I can only hope that the
current regime in charge at MIT can get its act similarly together.
