The insights provided by more than 700 Chief Human Resource Officers around the world show how workforce investment is shifting. Companies are beginning to focus more on growth, expanding into new markets and offering new products and services.

Based on the key capability gaps revealed in this study, we believe organisations should focus on three critical workforce imperatives: cultivating creative leaders, mobilising for speed and flexibility and capitalising on collective intelligence.
