New Zealand among some of the world's leading talent

Talent diversity is still a largely untapped resource for innovation and should be regarded as a core pillar for competitiveness in a rapidly growing digital economy. 

It is the diversity of knowledge, experience and perspectives that, through teamwork and collaboration, leads to innovation and outstanding performance. 

Inclusion and diversity go hand in hand when it comes to diversity and organisations are encouraged to build more inclusive norms and cultures where voices will be heard without the filter of an unconscious bias. 

Formal educational systems have a crucial responsibility in building the competences (knowledge, skills and attitude) that are needed for a more inclusive world. 

 The capacity to leverage diversity requires bold and visionary leadership – at the level of organisations, cities and nations. 

 Cities will continue to change the global talent scene and are perfect labs to promote diversity. The experience of cities of different sizes and historical backgrounds shows how much diversity can contribute to innovation.
