Topic: Demand for highly-skilled people to intensify: and for highly-skilled people, which is expected to intensify during the economy's recovery. However, new research by the Confederation for British Industry (CBI) has revealed that many employers are of the opinion that they will not be able to find people with the skills needed to fill high-level jobs. While 51 per cent of employers fear they will not be able to fill posts requiring the right graduate level or higher skills in future, 32 per cent believe it will not be difficult to find people for intermediate level jobs requiring skills equivalent to A-level. "In the future, people with qualifications in science and maths will be particularly sought after, and firms say it is already hard to find people with the right technical or engineering skills," explained CBI director-general Richard Lambert. Recruitment professionals eager to capitalise on the situation may want to free up their time to focus on getting candidates by outsourcing back office services to an agency.…; Added by Stewart Roberts to Total Back Office Solutions Limited at 7:56am on May 18, 2010

Comment on: Blog Post 'Is OD Dead? Yes, We Killed It-Or Did We?': OD, like many 20th century business functions, is in the midst of a major transformation. The old is dead and the new is quite here yet! Sure we get the sense that things are dead or dying - the way it always been done, the tiny place at the table it has occupied and many of our beloved 20th century practitioners and leaders. But that's not the end of the story. Generation Jones members (43-55 yrs old) value skill enhancement so much so that they ask about it during interviews and choose jobs based on learning opportunities (Boomers asked about advancement opportunities). This trend is not only likely to continue but will likely intensify as hundreds of millennials enter the workforce because they don't even ask but expect to be offered learning as a benefit. But what they what is hard core, practice-based, strengths-based highly interactive training blips delivered across multiple channels. So the most critical consideration for modern OD and T & D practitioners is RELEVANCE not value or cost. Organizations do not need us to capture the learning archives from retiring boomers to preserve the status quo - they need us to re-align fresh skill-sets with new missions, for the long haul and to get out in front of the dip. Example: Desktop telephone technology training for example may become outmoded because of mobile business communication devices and intranet-based talk devices which have Ma Bell headed in the same path as newspapers and mail order catalogs. Most verbal conversations are far less relevant today than concise messaging, consistent across business domains, delivered electronically and unrestricted by outmoded technologies like desks, large administrative pools and land-lines. Are we training and consulting to that reality? The economy simply sped up the transformation process - a change in relevant OD strategy is long overdue, I say.…; Added by Karen Lynn at 1:22pm on December 9, 2009
