Welcome to The New "Local"

This is a collaboration project among a group of readers at Tom Peter's blog who wanted to have a sidebar discussion about how to define what "local" means in today's world. Since many businesses and organizations tend to base strategic plans based upon local strategies it occurred to us that old definitions and assumptions of what was meant by the term "local" may not accurately serve them well. We simply seek to define the term local in more robust terms to accurately reflect modern day usage.
