| Description | Theres a growing consensus that the current job development systemboth in the US and overseas--is badly broken. Too many people cant find good jobs. Too many businesses cant find qualified people. Whats behind the deep talent shortages that now confront the United States and much of the world? And how can we rebuild the pipeline? Summary: Taking It To Another Level Rating: 5 I have had the opportunity to work with Dr. Gordon for many years. He has always provided insight and guidance in the work he has done. In his latest work; "Winning the Global Talent Showdown: How Businesses and Communities Can Partner to Rebuild the Jobs Pipeline" he sets the bar at a new level. With the economy and global situation in its current state, our nations leaders would do well to look at his research and insights in how to make a difference. I recommend this book to all looking to understand and make a difference in the identification and development of talent. George Vukotich, Ph.D. - Roosevelt University Summary: Deserving of ongoing recommendation Rating: 5 Deserving of ongoing recommendation is Winning the Global Talent Showdown: How Businesses & Communities Can Partner to Rebuild the Jobs Pipeline. It considers the education-to-employment world system and its pitfalls and latest crisis, arguing that the system needs to be reinvented, and showing how such is already in the works. Business Libraries will find this a powerful presentation perfect for college-level collections strong in global business practices. Summary: Workforce development problems and solutions Rating: 5 Dr. Gordon has written a thorough and very readable book on the upcoming problems with shortages of educated people throughout the world, which is hard to believe (but undoubtedly true) given the current high levels of unemployment. The first half of the book presents the talent availability problems in all of the major world economies, and the second half reports successes and discusses solutions. I particularly enjoyed hearing about the Kalamazoo Promise (which should be copied in thousands of cities), the 1 to 7 ratio of tutors in Finland's elementary and secondary schools, and the workforce development success of the new wine making industry in North Carolina. In my opinion, too many economic developers are caught in the Ready, Aim, Ready, Ready, Aim, Aim, . . . cycle. In his new book, the author provides a very useful model for communities to approach workforce development successfully, and to actually Ready, Aim, and FIRE! If people could just get together and do what Dr. Gordon advises. |
