Studied this at HKS. @ricardo_hausman’s product space changed how we think about building a region. Then realized it applies to everything. A life, a career, a ranch. One tree at a time.

📢 Join us next week for the launch of our next-gen Greenplexity tool!

Green Growth by Design: The Science and Strategy of Greenplexity
Discover how countries can unlock a green growth strategy and power the global energy transition.

🗓️ Wednesday, Nov. 5
🕥 10:30 - 11:45 AM EST
📍 Democracy Lab (R 414-AB) @Kennedy_School, and Zoom

Greenplexity enables policymakers and industry leaders to identify their nation’s most promising growth opportunities across ten value chains at the heart of the global #EnergyTransition, from batteries and #ElectricVehicles to #WindPower and critical minerals.

@ricardo_hausman will guide us through this data and strategy tool, also revealing the Greenplexity Index—the new scoreboard for the global energy transition. It shows which countries have the right mix of industries—and the right knowhow—to grow by supplying what the world needs to #decarbonize.

Every strong industry starts the same way — a few people learning together, building together, and leaving something better behind.

You can build plans, hire talent, set goals — but if folks don’t feel part of something, they drift.

Real progress starts narrow. A single training program that builds a workforce. One clean-energy corridor that proves the model. A local supplier that learns to meet global standards.

Omar López Vivian, CEO at Eisenholz MBJ, makes a clear argument: scattered research leads to scattered results.
In an era dominated by semiconductors, Sonora must resist the urge to study everything and instead concentrate its efforts on one specific nich

Only then can we build the depth of talent and innovation needed to compete globally.
No one wins the Olympics by trying every event. Focus is power.

It’s not noise that shapes the land. It’s the steady work of rivers moving unseen.

Dr. Luis Núñez Noriega, Rector of the Universidad de Ciencias Aplicadas de Norteamérica, addresses a critical gap in Mexico’s talent strategy.
While global demand in semiconductors and electronics continues to grow, university programs remain outdated—

except for a notable exception: UNISON’s new semiconductor degree.
Two years ago, Dr. Núñez brought a public policy proposal to universities across Mexico. The message? Redesign your programs to match industry needs, or risk being left behind.
