Harold, another insightful post, thank you! Increasingly we will bring our networks to our jobs as much as we bring our own skills and knowledge. In fact, in the future, with shorter contractual engagements (rather than lifetime employment) and a faster rate of change of knowledge, it could be argued that employers will hire for competence and knowledge and provide no explicit training. It may be that knowledge workers will be hired for their networks and their ability to get up to speed fast and to keep learning relentlessly.
