Re-inventing the talent pipes (part 2)
In part 1, we emphasized that It’s time to reinvent how we narrate the story of our professional lives. That the current tools we use to explain who we are professionally are broken. Resumes and their digital replicas (like Linkedin) were built for a previous age, when careers were linear, talent was locally sourced, and information was easy to vet within your network. But in our globally competitive, highly differentiated world, these tools fail to do justice both to the talent who need to u...

It’s time to re-invent how we narrate the story of our professional lives. The current tools we use to explain who we are professionally, Linkedin profiles and Resumes, are broken.

Thoughts on Identity (part 2)
In part I we discussed the commoditization and control of identity by centralized parties, how our identities are not really our assets but rather a right in someone else’s ledger, and how that’s unraveling in the digital era.

Something’s up. Everyone knows it. The world is in the midst of a transformation, socioeconomically, politically, and technologically… most of us can’t quite define it yet, but it is obvious that we are in an era of change that is affecting all of our lives.

Blockchain technology is allowing us to reclai...
