We are really in a time where organizations that want to innovate and want to adapt to changing circumstances must get clear on what diversity really is and what it really means.

I love your discussion of the Talent 2.0 topic. The notion that in this new economy, organizatsions must radically rethink how they engage talent is crucial and often missed. As we speak, the very nature of the working relationship is evolving and organizations will need to adapt - those that master this capability will be much more successful than those that don't. In the hopes that its useful, I thought I'd add a fun example from the front lines: InnoCentive works with a number of Foundations in addition to corporations. Recently, the InnoCentive Solver for a quite successful not for profit (NFP) challenge, not only spent a portion of the prize monies to travel to meet the organization he'd helped, he is now actually doing pro bono work for them. In a sense, the NFP extended its talent network and so did the Solver - perfectly rational and sensible in the Talent 2.0 world. We think this is terrific and quite inspirational actually. Keep up the great posts! All the best, Dwayne CEO InnoCentive Dear Susan:

I am very interested in how technologies can support collaboration, particularly for organizations determined to develop or enhance a culture of innovation. I agree that HR and other 'internal' groups should take inspiration from concepts like InnoCentive and be more proactive in leveraging the skills, talents, and interested of all levels of the organization, as well as the greater community.
