My business partner, Janice Calnan, and I gave a presentation two weeks ago to the Ottawa Manufacturers Network (OMN). In it, we outlined the issues I described in the last two posts. We will be working, in partnership with the OMN, to offer some solutions to the emerging problems.

Solutions boil down to one direction that companies and other organizations need to take: developing a workforce that is engaged in their work, that works collaboratively throughout the levels of the organization, and that pools its experience, skills, creativity, energy and enthusiasm so that the whole really is greater than the sum of its parts. That is where a company’s sustainable economic development and profitability will be rooted.
