The most profound social and economic transformation over the last quarter century has been how knowledge and intellectual assets have supplanted physical labor in rearranging work and organizations.Competition for high-paying, knowledge-intensive jobs has become fierce, as corporations seek out the best talent for the cheapest price. Knowledge-intensive work is the key to long term success.

How will people and organizations succeed? A new nationalism seemscounterproductive considering that Americas well being is inextricably linked to the rest of the world. A purpose-driven life seems unattainable given lifestyles that are built on brand loyalty and consumption.Innovation seems an illusion given massive job de-skilling and outsourcing. Such are the perils of prosperity. Nevertheless, people and organizations must strive to work collaboratively and in innovative ways.
