Due to popular demand, we are relaunching our leadership journey on how places can co-create the future of talent attraction in a post pandemic world. After participants from 8 countries across Europe completed the first round in the fall of 2021, quite a few places have contacted us asking to join as well. The waiting list is open again!
Access to talent has become a key competitive advantage for places. How can capitals, non-capital, smaller cities and regions improve their capacity to attract and retain talent for innovation and growth. Talents have traditionally preferred to live, work and stay in metropolis hubs as part of urbanisation tied with a perception of greater career opportunities. Thus, often one may think smaller places have lost the game already. However, considering primarily the lifestyle and career preferences of the younger generations coming into the workforce as well as the aftermath of the pandemic, we have noticed that now is the time for smaller places to shine, and for bigger places to reinvent their value proposition.
Participants will learn and get inspiration from each other, and from relevant global cases provided by the Academy, with carefully selected guest speakers – and by co-creating the future solutions together. The service design rests on Design Thinking principles tailored to a placemaking and place attractiveness context in 4 phases:
1. Discovery: What is really the challenge behind the problem?
2. Solution design: How might we solve it?
3. Prototyping and testing: What could strategic initiatives and quick wins look like?
4. Implementation: How do we launch it and lead the change?
