The leadership read

Alliances broaden the commercial surface, and the leadership need follows. BYD's partnership in the sector widens demand for commercial and alliance leaders who turn an agreement into realised value. Across Oceania, watch whether dedicated senior ownership is put on it; unowned alliances quietly lapse.

Market context: Against a Talent Market Index of 97.8 (Neutral) (down 3.2 month-on-month), Oceania is at rising (+5.6pts) on signal share.

BYD: 4 signals in the last 90 days; 0.2% of MitchelLake's Asia signal flow; 13 tracked across 200 days.
