The Invisible Talent: How to Leverage It and Maximise Returns

There is so much talent out there to be discovered. In every city, in every organisation, in every community, in every family, and in every person around the world, there is talent. Yet, the headlines, survey data, and many business leaders persistently insist that there is a shortage of talent in developed and developing markets, in small and large organisations, and in numerous industry sectors. There is simply no shortage of talent in the world, but there is a huge shortage of talented people who can identify talented individuals. There is a shortage of focused investment on developing technology that can truly facilitate talent discovery. And there is a shortage of authentic leadership desire to discover invisible talent to genuinely maximise returns. Business leaders, HR professionals, investors, and talented individuals urgently need to resolve the challenge of visibility. Without transparent and innovative practices, the invisible talent will remain invisible, and businesses will remain inefficient for years to come. We need to leverage the invisible talent to build more and better performing organisations in the future.
