Description: This book highlights the topic of the 2010 Aspen Institute Roundtable on Talent Development. The "Dilbert Paradox" finds expression in wasted opportunities for organizational learning, collaboration, and access to knowledge and ideas outside the corporate hierarchy. This report captures the insights of the participants during the conference and details how some large organizations, as well as start-ups and small companies, are experimenting by giving employees new opportunities to maximize innovation.--adapted from publisher's description.
