“It is fantastic new that today London is being recognised is a pioneer in the technology industry. However, for it to continue to grow and lead the market globally, businesses need to ensure that that they invest in talent to drive innovation and maintain the ‘entrepreneurial attitude’ that has nurtured growth to date. This could be by helping and supporting education at a primary level in order to cultivate potential talent early on, or by globalising their talent acquisition strategy to bring in the brightest mind from around the globe.
“While filling new roles is vital, businesses should also look at their current talent pool. In the capital we are already fortunate enough to have a highly skilled and competent workforce and it’s vital that businesses focus on retaining these talented individuals if London’s technology market is to continue its growth trajectory. Organisations need to look at the skills, traits and motivations of current employees and how they can marry this to their business objectives. If they are able to do this they will futureproof their business and ensure that London’s technology industry is characterised by a vibrancy, creativity and innovation.”
