Changing business models have led to a change in the types of skills organisations need. And the convergence of business models and vertical markets mean that there are more companies than ever competing for the same skills. What can organisations do to address these challenges?

Talent intelligence has long been an underused discipline. But as the volume of data and the capability of technology have rapidly evolved, the demand for external data to inform decisions has skyrocketed. Before you invest in a TI platform, take a look at our checklist.

Ultimately access to skills is about competitiveness, reducing risk, saving money, and saving time.

This is not about arbitrary targets or quotas – this is about business success. What can organisations do to address these challenges?

We were delighted to be featured in this month’s issue of theHRDIRECTOR, the independent, thought-led publication for Senior HR Practitioners.

In the new ecosystem of work, businesses need to be global as well as local, remote as well as physical. In a skill-driven market they’ll need to base their people strategy on skills supply and demand - rather than on people or jobs in a location. But there’s a major hurdle here. The way skills are described by employers and candidates across markets and industries vary massively, creating what we call ‘noisy’ data.

We are very excited to announce that Talent Intuition has been shortlisted in the Service Industries Entrepreneur of the Year category at the 2020 Great British Entrepreneur Awards for the Wales region! We are proud to call ourselves officially a Great British Entrepreneur Awards finalist after contending with some incredibly stiff competition.

As more of more of the issues businesses face are people centric we see the rise of the CHRO and a people first growth strategy. But to be successful a strategy needs to be informed by data - not just internal people analytics, but real time and predictive data. We explore this in this blog.

All too often HR is involved in strategic decisions too late. This leaves HR and talent teams reacting to a problem, rather than proactively informing the decision. Our philosophy is that to revolutionise the decision-making process, we need to empower HR with the right information.

Using internal HR data for evidence-based decision making is becoming the norm. But how can HR use external talent data to support strategic decision making?
