I like it when businesses look ahead for how they will need to compete differently tomorrow than yesterday, and consider what that means for the types of skills they need to look for. It is usually more nuanced than just needed more technical people. For example, I am hearing more people consider the importance of collaboration skills, such as this interview with Tim Brown at Ideo in the NY Times (http://tinyurl.com/yew5hfg). Collaboration applies to cross-function, cross-division, cross-company, and cross-border tasks and projects, and has become critical to the success of many enterprises. I am sure there are other skills that were secondary a few years ago but are becoming critical in the coming years. Good insights here.
