Here's some very interesting thoughts from fellow World Bank colleague, Giulio Quaggiotto. It's especially important that college students and young professionals read it because of the inherent technical/technological deficiencies many of them have. These are the same youth that then ask why they never get jobs in prestigious, large, well-renowned organizations. Well, it's because the landscape is changing so drastically, but we just aren't keeping up! And this means moving away from book/rote knowledge and moving towards experiential learning and on-the-job training that must yield results/knowledge enhancement quickly. No time to sit and think - just learn, empower, move forward.
Read, enjoy and spread the wealth!
