Keeping our skills in sync with fast-changing markets is the biggest challenge of our time
So says my guest today, Kelly Palmer, and her co-author David Blake.

Kelly and David have written a brand new book called The Expertise Economy: How the Smartest Companies Use Learning to Engage, Compete and Succeed.
They say that, in order for companies and their employees to succeed, they need to focus on building skills for the future. The book shows how the most forward-thinking companies, big and small, are transforming their employees into experts and, ultimately, creating their biggest competitive advantage.
