What is the cost of lost opportunity when hiring in Cybersecurity, and how can we avoid it? How does the problem relate to global warming? How do these challenges relate to mythological Greek heroes? What does the current skills hiring crisis have to do with any of this? I challenge you to think differently when hiring for complex roles, and offer the benefit of a different perspective when trying to hire top talent, for roles that benefit from creative problem solving.

Every organisation wants to attract and hire the very best, and most capable technical talent. The current talent shortage especially in cloud seems almost insurmountable in many ways. This talk will challenge the way we think about what talent means in the current and future government technical landscape, and suggests that maybe thinking a little differently will have a positive impact beyond simply solving our immediate staffing issues.

In this session Tony takes us on a whistle-stop tour covering the ever accelerating speed of tech, why organizations are struggling to keep pace, how we got to this point, and why we should even care. If you're interested in understanding what a culture of learning looks like, who it impacts positively (that'd be everyone!), and why organizations often see as much as 5x more performance when compared to those without a culture of learning, join me while I share my notes from field, from both Public and Private Sector.
