THE CHALLENGES WE FACE…

GLOBALIZATION & NATIONALISM

Globalization is here to stay, and yet we see a strong comeback of regional specificities, growing nationalism and geopolitical uncertainties. In this challenging environment it becomes even more crucial to have not only a good knowledge of local cultures, but also a mind that is open to new perspectives and ideas, as well as a strong understanding of the “big picture” and of global macro trends.

CONTINGENT WORKFORCES

Since the COVID-19 pandemic an already existing trend towards outsourcing and the use of contingent workers has accelerated. As these “on demand” consultants, contractors and temps will have to travel frequently to go where their skills are required, they will need a specific mindset: one that can navigate the complexities of global (virtual) work, is adaptable and understands different cultural norms.

U
NEW DEMOGRAPHIC LANDSCAPE

With aging populations and declining fertility rates in the western world, organizations are confronted with a massive talent shortage. Simultaneously, India and China are now producing more than 40% of the worlds graduates. Therefore companies will need not only to source their talent from all over the world to fill the growing leadership gap, but also to build inclusive environments in which this diverse talent will flourish.

THE QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE…

What knowledge about a local culture do we need to be able to expand into this market?

How do we attract and retain talent from different parts of the world?

How do we promote and help create a culturally diverse and inclusive environment?

How do we store, share and retain critical knowledge from our subsidiaries abroad ?

How do we develop the next generation of global leaders?
