A Reader’s eye on the future – Fabienne Goux-Baudiment: “If you want to encourage talent, you have to nurture its difference”

Fabienne Goux-Baudiment has a degree in political science and a doctorate in social sciences. She is the managing director of SAS, a study, research and consultancy centre in the field of foresight, proGective .

Her main activity is to support public and private sector decision-makers in their future-oriented thinking and initiatives, both in France and abroad. To illustrate the theme of this July’s special issue, we have gathered her views on her experience of HR issues.

We are in the midst of a major transition in which the very foundations of our system are crumbling. Not just work, but also individuals, societies, ways of being in the world, relationships between individuals, etc. We are experiencing a phase of overlap between the world that is emerging and the world that is disappearing, all the while trying to resist. It is this tension that creates the current upheavals (crises).

21st Century Talent

Until now, those who were capable of mastering knowledge at a higher level than others were considered to be talented, and they enabled the great advances of today’s civilisation. For example, almost everyone is required to have a bachelor’s degree (+3): you don’t start to stand out until you have a master’s degree (+5). This is characteristic of a system of elite reproduction in which knowledge can be capitalised on.
