Each week, I'll be posting links to the most interesting articles and posts I find on our topic. I'll also tag a wide variety of articles related to the future of work via del.icio.us. You can subscribe to our del.icio.us feed futureofwork to keep up with the topic (there a couple of dozen in there already).

* What Really Ails Europe (and America): The Doubling of the Global Workforce by Richard Freeman. "Most people still have not come to grips with the most fundamental reality change in the current era of globalization — the fact that the global labor force has virtually doubled in size in the last 15 years."

* The Future of Work: "it's life Jim, but not as we know it": "...like it or not, the shape and definition of the "workplace" has changed radically in little more than a generation."

* I found a couple of articles on municipal WI-FI referencing Philadelphia, which is moving forward, and Orlando, which is shutting down.

* Agility: The Next Talent Management Imperative by Tony DiRomualdo of Next Generation Consulting. "There are many organizational and cultural reasons why companies constrain talent. Performance obsessed managers are often reluctant to give up the people resources they feel are needed to achieve ever more challengingly goals and performance objectives. This short sighted behavior is reinforced by management and incentive systems that reward business results but not development of people."
