Terry concludes:
“Our survey shows that in most cases, FS organisations do not have the talent they need to succeed. 70% of industry leaders see the limited availability of key skills as a threat to growth. Only 5% are confident they can secure all the skills they need. The proportion of industry leaders expressing concerns over the availability of skills has risen from less than 50% in the survey three years ago.
The findings also show that industry leaders do recognise the extraordinary challenges they face, but may be slow and uncertain in responding. A new take on talent and how it is deployed are going to be vital in turning industry disruption from a threat to an opportunity.”
