Executive Summary

Talent, we argue, is all around us waiting to be unleashed. Contrary to popular belief and practice we argue that ‘talent’ should not be seen as a rare quality, but a diverse, multifaceted one that exists in everyone; it is abundant. It is a nice quirk of the English language that talent is an anagram of latent; underlining our view that much talent remains hidden and undiscovered.

How will leading companies create value through people?

Talent has never been more important – our programme, Tomorrow’s Global Talent, looks at who has it, where it is, how it can be harnessed and engaged.

The triple context shapes how business must operate: achieving economic success, strengthening society and respecting the environment – being a force for good.

A new mindset must recognise we all have talent, and that talent is not just about the ‘top’ tiers. A new talent mindset for a new age: the age of sustainability.
