A key driver of unemployment is the failure of our education system to prepare individuals for the digital age.
Our best jobs require the ability to process complex knowledge and information - in real time.
The newspaper print industry is an excellent example of this shortfall.
The more serious deficit is our cultural economic bias to consume.
We need to move to a culture of personal growth through innovative curiosity which leads to productivity.
As long as "What I own is who I am" prevails as a motivator unemployment will remain debilitating.
A final note.
The top down control pyramid in which our organizations operate is no longer relevant as an organizational structure for a knowledge based economy.
A collaborative team based platform is a solution.
We are a long way from having this transition take place.
Respectfully,
Dan Zwicker
