Gallup
For more than 80 years, Gallup has been measuring global public opinion and attitudes. The company’s insight and analysis have informed government, the judiciary, business and academia at the highest levels. Gallup knows more about the attitudes and behaviours of the world’s students, employees, customers and citizens than any other organisation in the world and delivers analytics and advice to help leaders and their organisations solve their most pressing problems.
As the global workplace experiences ever-increasing disruption and AI, machine learning and other technologies transform the very nature of work, more than ever university graduates need practical insights into their unique talents to prepare them to succeed in a rapidly changing job market. Students preparing themselves for the workplace of the future must optimise the most lasting, valuable and differentiable asset they possess: their unique individual talents.
Decades of Gallup research in talent-based predictive analytics demonstrate that talent is highly predictive of future behaviours and performance. Expressed simply, a job candidate who possesses the optimal combination and intensity of talents is likely to perform at or above the level of incumbents having achieved success in the target role. The talent profile of such a candidate is therefore highly predictive of future success, since he or she is likely to think, feel and behave in ways that will lead to consistently high performance in the role.
For institutes of higher education, Gallup’s predictive analytics approach offers an important competitive advantage by enabling universities to prepare graduates for the workplace of the future by helping them to identify, develop and apply their innate talents in preparation for their future career choice, thereby increasing their readiness for the evolving future job market.
