148 pectations about work, membership in organizations and personal val- ues. Factors that contribute to the complexity include: • The rising demand for talent. Accelerated demand for high- performing individual required to support accelerated growth, entrepre- neurial enterprises, knowledge-based businesses and globalization in today's business environment. • Scarcity of talent. We are in the initial stages of a predicted 15-percent decline in the supply of talent in the number of 25- to 44- year-olds available in the next 15 years. This demographic trend is irre- versible in the short term. • Thin ranks. Seventy-four percent of corporate officers in the McKinsey/Sibson study report that their talent cadre is insufficient for the task of leading their organization into the future. • The demand for autonomy. Employees in high-tech, hyper- growth and knowledge based businesses increasingly wish to define the employment contract in terms of their personal and individual needs. As a parallel development, self-elected free agency is on the rise. In recent years, the growth in full-time self-employment in Canada has risen from 12.5 percent to 17.2 percent of total employment. • The burden of employability. The human capital has an alto- gether different meaning for workers displaced by automation. The re- constitution of human capital for those whose skills and knowledge base are out of date is a critical social and economic issue. All of these issues are rooted in the changing nature of work itself. The shift is far from completed. Today, it is moving from trans- actional work, centered on defined activities and outputs of rigid jobs, to transformational work, focused on situational responses, problem solving and enabling change.
