Luis Ferrándiz, President of JAKALA Iberia, participated in the premiere of Talent Pills, the new podcast on talent and leadership by Luis Carvajal. In the podcast, they discuss the scarcity of digital talent and the difficulty organizations face to keep up with the speed of technological changes. Ferrándiz, a business consultant and professor at IESE, states that while Spain has many talented professionals, they cannot keep up with the speed of the market’s demand for technological talent. Ferrándiz and Carvajal stress the importance of finding key individuals with knowledge and experience in digital matters to help rebuild organizations. Ferrándiz recognizes that many professionals lack necessary digital skills and suggests that people over 45 need to be willing to take a step backward and learn new skills to remain competitive. The podcast discusses the impact of AI on business and the gig economy’s increasing prevalence. Ferrándiz believes that Spain has the potential to become a talent hub but needs to work on creating opportunities to attract digital talent.
