It has been a very long time since I last posted to this blog. Life has been interesting and very full and the blog dropped off the radar. While I still have a strong interest in this topic, my thinking has evolved over the years through education, work experiences and life experiences. I intend to start posting again covering a broader range of topics.

It is true that the economy has contributed significantly to the continuous changes in the world of work, and the value of ongoing learning is still a key component to success in the workplace. Ongoing learning includes academic and on the job learning. The gaps that some organizations are experiencing in succession plans can be bridged with well structured mentoring programs that include traditional experienced mentor to mentee and peer coaching teams. Mentor programs are simple to organize and inexpensive to run. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mentorship
