This week I was chatting with a recruitment company that specialise in search and selection, servicing the digital agency community, and other technical roles within the industry. They were telling me that through their research and accumulative experience there to be a shortage of industry middle tier executives.

This got me thinking that this gap of experience in the industry will become a more serious problem if not addressed as the current level of experience, will not be able to hold pace with the current levels of industry growth and investment. Perhaps industry wide there should be more focus / emphasis placed on individual professional development and formalised training plans from graduate and entry level executives.

Any thoughts?
