Turnaround to boost talent

TL;DR

  • Organizations need to grow and be more productive in 2026, but face a paradox of less available talent and disconnected teams.
  • The pressure for results clashes with inefficient organizational structures and work models.
  • Companies adopt advanced technologies like AI without redefining roles, incentives, or leadership, causing burnout.
  • Talent scarcity is due to insufficient value propositions and outdated performance metrics.
  • Insisting on aggressive goals without organizational redesign leads to high turnover, low engagement, and lost competitiveness.
  • AI requires deliberate integration with human capabilities to be effective; otherwise, it's a costly, underutilized investment.
  • The business agenda should focus on rebuilding internal trust, investing in new skills, and discussing the future of work.
  • Future competitiveness depends on creating organizations where talent and technology advance at the same pace.
  • For Colombia, the challenge involves coordinated action between businesses, education, and public policy.
