Critics Review
“The value of the book, authored by scholars Elizabeth J Altman and David Kiron, and consultants Jeff Schwartz and Robin Jones, is that it provides an instructive account of the way organizations like Salesforce are thinking about their workforce ecosystems. In turn, it invites you to consider how you will choose to engage with those ecosystems in your own career. Here are four examples from the book, taken from reports about four separate organizations…A first step, though, is to absorb the ideas in Workforce Ecosystems, either on your own, or with professional friends, or a book club. This engaging book will tell you what leading thinkers on talent management strategy are saying, and help you to stand up for your career in response.”
