  6. The Human Age Ecosystem Continues to Evolve Future Forces • The employment ecosystem – employers, educators, government and individuals and Macro-economic forces are growing stronger and more intertwined, pushing and pulling in different directions until they become impossible to separate – like a Gordian Knot.

Again the issue: • Talent, as capital once was, is becoming the scarce resource in the economic world. • A nation or corporation’s means of attracting, mobilizing and liberating talent is a key competitive differentiator. • Human potential is a major agent of economic growth. • How to unleash and then leverage that potential is a key question organizations need to answer. Talent is emerging as the new “it” factor.
