Envisioning the Workforce of 2035
The Future of Talent Institute is a pioneering think tank and HR consultancy dedicated to shaping the future of human resources, recruitment, and learning and development. We’re a community of passionate leaders who explore emerging trends and innovations transforming the workplace.
Since 2005, we’ve brought together a consortium of organizations and individuals from diverse industries and locations. This collaborative environment fosters knowledge sharing and the development of forward-looking talent strategies.
Our roots trace back to the work of Kevin Wheeler and Eileen Clegg at the Institute for the Future. Through projects like “Window into Talent and Learning,” they identified talent as a critical area demanding a fresh perspective.
Building on this foundation, Wheeler, along with Erik Foss, began delving into how to recruit, develop, and retain talent in the evolving global economy. This research, coupled with Wheeler’s work at Global Learning Resources, fueled the need for a new approach.
Recognizing the growing demand for future-focused insights, Wheeler envisioned a space where talent leaders could connect and share. In 2003, the idea for The Future of Talent Institute was born.
Our inaugural retreat in 2005 set the tone for 15 annual retreats that would follow by bringing together exceptional talent leaders from various industries and fostering open discussions with future-forward experts on future-critical topics. We empowered our community to drive positive change within their organizations, while continuing to share and collaborate between events.
Today, The Future of Talent Institute is a global organization engaging in:
