Thank you to the many people who have been blog contributors to, and readers of ArtsBlog over the years. ArtsBlog has long been a space where we uplifted stories from the field that demonstrated how the arts strengthen our communities socially, educationally, and economically; where trends and issues and controversies were called out; and advocacy tools were provided to help you make the case for more arts funding and favorable arts policies.

As part of Americans for the Arts’ recent Strategic Realignment Process, we were asked to evaluate our storytelling communications platforms and evolve the way we share content. As a result, we launched the Designing Our Destiny portal to explore new ways of telling stories and sharing information, one that is consistent with our longtime practice of, “No numbers without a story, and no stories without a number.”

As we put our energy into developing this platform and reevaluate our communications strategies, we have put ArtsBlog on hold. That is, you can read past blog posts, but we are not posting new ones. You can look to the Designing Our Destiny portal and our news items feed on the Americans for the Arts website for stories you would have seen in ArtsBlog in the past.

ArtsBlog will remain online through this year as we determine the best way to archive this valuable resource and the knowledge you’ve shared here.

As ever, we are grateful for your participation in ArtsBlog and thank you for your work in advancing the arts. It is important, and you are important for doing it.

Global Human Capital Trends 2013

It gives us great pleasure to share with you “Resetting Horizons,” our Global Human Capital Trends 2013 report.

Through analysis, conversations with clients, interaction with experts and industry professionals, and extensive discussions with senior Deloitte Human Capital partners and practitioners around the world, we have identified the critical current and emerging trends shaping talent, HR and global business over the next few years. The 13 trends identified by our global human capital practice leaders cover a range of challenges, from:

  • Exploring new approaches, spanning from next generation leadership strategies to the open talent economy;
  • To focusing on improving the execution of critical HR priorities, from talent development to human capital analytics.

Taken together, the 2013 global human capital trends present an evolving and shifting talent and HR agenda.

In order to gauge the intensity and relevance of the 2013 global human capital trends we identified, Deloitte conducted an extensive survey of more than 1,300 business leaders and HR executives in 59 countries across the world’s major economic regions. These results both inform and amplify the findings of this report. In addition to this global report, member firms across the Deloitte network will be issuing “country forwards” accompanying this report and highlighting the relevant trends and findings for national markets.

On behalf of the partners and more than 5,500 practitioners across the globe, we are pleased to present this report. We sincerely hope that you find the insights in this report useful and relevant to your organization as you chart your business, HR and talent agenda. [Introduction]

Five years after the onset of the Great Recession, companies are beginning to reset their horizons. For the last several years, human capital decisions have been largely shaped by that recession and its aftermath of weak economic growth. While the global economy continues to lurch forward, the Deloitte Global Human Capital Trends 2013 report finds companies pivoting from the recession to the new horizons of 2020.
