The Coming Talent Crisis in Digital Infrastructure
A major talent pipeline crisis is coming in the digital inrastructure industry, within the next three to four years. Rapidly shrinking delivery schedule timelines make entry-level training unviable, meanwhile, the existing workforce is aging and burning out.

Human factor risks are not just HR issues, they are significant operational risks. Boards would never accept financial or cyber risk being measured through anecdote and hindsight. Yet that is exactly how most organisations manage human factor risk.
