About Talent without Borders

With the shifting balance of global power, globalisation and demographic change “Talent without Borders” is an economic, geographical and cultural phenomenon that has become imperative for organisational success and competitive advantage.

Sustained economic growth in Brazil, India, China, Africa and other emerging economies is shifting the balance of global economic power inexorably towards countries with different cultural heritages and models of business and leadership. Moreover, while the recessionary environment in the West is resulting in large scale job losses, ongoing demographic changes mean that even in the West the growing consumers of products and services come from BAME communities. The ‘new normal’ is a business environment where the leadership skills and competencies of diverse talent is a strategic imperative.

The extent to which organisations and Different Leaders themselves know how to fully leverage their potential is one of the many questions that Talent without Borders will seek to address. What is evident is that forward thinking corporations and public sector organisations recognise that to build and sustain economic and organisational performance they have to proactively recruit, retain and grow the best leadership talent. The demand is for authentic, inspirational, biculturally competent Different Leaders – who are uniquely placed to bridge the gap between old and new economies, consumers and communities, and add value to their organisations through the application of their cultural capital and competence locally, nationally and globally.

Successful Different Leaders will be those that prepare, develop, position, and brand themselves to take advantage of the need for their talent and the career opportunities of today and tomorrow.

The Different Leaders Annual Global Conference is a MUST ATTEND if you want to:
