Becoming a talent champion isn’t just a fancy title; it’s about leveraging key drivers—Talent & Skills Strategy, Learning Culture, AI Transformation, Labor & Skills Insights, and Ecosystem—to turbocharge your transformation. Use skills data and analytics to fine-tune your workforce strategies.

This means making smart moves on whether to build, buy, or borrow talent for different needs. Keep an eye on the impact of your talent development efforts and spot skill gaps and opportunities as they arise.
