Talent in Leeds

One of the things that always comes up in any discussion of progress in Leeds is that of talent.  Several problem areas repeatedly crop up:

• We don’t do enough to find it;
• We don’t do enough to develop it;
• We don’t do enough to retain it;
• We don’t do enough to attract it;
• We waste a whole load of it.

In this online Innovation Lab I hope we can explore the territory a bit and start to develop some concrete ideas about how we make progress on developing Leeds as a city of talent.

So where do we start the conversation?

Talent…

1. A natural ability to excel.

2. A group of people, such as employees, community group, or artists who have a particular aptitude.
