Building a career today isn't the same as building the career in the past. Advanced globalization, faster technology and shifting demographics are changing the skills that we need as a worldwide business. Just imagine, 85 % of the jobs that will exist in 2030 haven't even been invented yet*. These changes will affect job markets, career pathways and the way we nurture talent.

As a talent architect how can we improve employees’ experiences and career journey to build a personal and professional life changing adventure?
