“I think the things where if I took lessons learned: those governments that defined what they were trying to accomplish, but not defined the solution, but actually just articulated what goal they were trying to solve…they actually unlocked a level of creativity that I think made a huge difference,” So says Marc Casper, Chairman, President, and CEO of Thermo Fisher Scientific, in this interview with Dr. Lori Esposito Murray, President of the Committee for Economic Development, the public policy center of The Conference Board (CED).
