Abstract: This project presentation explores how the U.S. Economic Development Administration’s Innovation Intelligence Index, an online empirical tool, can be used as a resource for informing communities and for empowering community leaders as they seek to understand their region’s strengths and weaknesses in a highly competitive economic development landscape. This project is part of an ongoing collaboration between Grady’s Cox Institute for Journalism Innovation, Management and Leadership and UGA’s Fanning Institute for Leadership Development.
