Talent shortages/talent management challenges
54% of the respondents view this as a negative trend. Ensuring access to a skilled talent base is a perennial challenge for most organizations. Talent shortages and talent management challenges are the most often cited trends with a negative impact on business operations. Some of these talent challenges may be due to tight labor markets, particularly in the United States, which may improve with changing economic conditions. A more lasting driver of these talent challenges, however, is undoubtedly the advent of IA and digital labor, which have profoundly changed the profile of skills demanded by many organizations.
