more important than financial planning. Two, a plan for how to
attract great people: generation Y, women, but also retirees.
Three, a plan for how to educate and up-skill them. There's a huge
up-skilling challenge ahead of us. And four, for how to retain the
best people, or in other words, how to realize an appreciation and
relationship culture.
