Finding new technical talent that quickly functions in the modern business environment is always a time consuming, difficult and expensive undertaking.  Another option is to focus on your existing scientific and technical talent by taking an inventory and enhancing their existing skills.  You already know many of their technical strengths, so by having them assess their business abilities, you can focus on developing business skills that your company needs.
