Some great points by Dave Snowden of Cognitive Edge regarding the abuse of language.
It has been one of my peeves for some time how respectable and relevant terminology gets co-opted to the point that it no longer makes no sense to anyone. Clearly I believe in Knowledge Management, but what passes for KM most days is really Information Management dressed dressed to appear as something different.

Is there really a skilled worker shortage?
AT&T CEO says hard to find skilled U.S. workers
I find it very tiring to keep hearing the corporate block heads moan and groan about a skilled worker shortage in the USA. Is it really a shortage of skilled workers or a shortage of vision and innovation on the part of corporate titans?
Sure, there are areas of the country (the world?) where it is tough to find skilled workers. There are ways to alleviate that issue through creative compensation, a more enlightened view of workforce management, higher pay, and remote work/telecommuting.
Those complaining the strongest need to change their views on compensation, value creation and allow their workforce to adapt and innovate instead of enforcing rigid and out dated hierarchies and antiquated human resource models.
What needs to be answered is; is there a shortage of skilled workers or a shortage of skilled workers willing to work for low wages?
