The leadership read
Colony Group's expansion resets where the leadership need sits in the sector. Standing up a new market rewards operators with local networks and a record of building from scratch. The 12-to-18-month read across Oceania favours country and commercial leadership hired close to the ground.
Market context: Against a Talent Market Index of 105.8 (Hot) (down 2.3 month-on-month), Oceania is at steady (-0.1pts) on signal share.
Colony Group: 1 signal in the last 90 days; 0.1% of MitchelLake's Oceania signal flow.
