The risks of getting it wrong

According to a recent OCLC report (Research Libraries, Risk and Systemic Change http://www.oclc.org/research/publications/library/2010/2010-03.pdf), research libraries face some major risks. According to the report's authors 'the heat is on, and it's intense.' One of the major risk clusters is in the field of human resources, and this set of risks may not be limited to research libraries. Further, these risks feature mostly in the 'high impact, high likelihood' zone of the risk graphic. These are the risks rated 'high' by the authors: 1. Recruitment and retention of resources; 2. Difficulty identifying candidates for evolving library management roles; 3. Human resources are not allocated appropriately to provide the training, development, cross-training and re-training required to manage change in the current environment; 4. Current human resources lack skill set for future needs (changing technology, etc); 5. Conservative nature of library inhibits timely adaptation to changed circumstances. Is this a fair summation? What should we be doing?
