I think there are two perspectives we need to take on the issue of an
individual's competitiveness. First, and foremost for me, is what we as a
society offer our people. Second, is what they can and do offer to us. If
we fail on the first we will see problems thereafter, and our
underinvestment harms individuals who needed more than our society
provided, depriving us all in the end.
But when we are talking about an individual in an organization we assume
the society's equipment - to do the job for the group its referents
becomes its requirements.
There are two different sets of obligations and metrics here, and I must
say I think we could improve our first.
