Consolidation shifts the leadership question from growth to integration.

The leadership read

Consolidation shifts the leadership question from growth to integration. For FEP in the sector, the demand moves toward transformation and integration leaders who can merge teams, systems and cultures without losing momentum. Across Oceania, watch whether the integration is properly resourced; deals are won or lost the year after they close.

Market context: Against a Talent Market Index of 122.7 (Hot) (up 17.8 month-on-month), Oceania is at easing (-24.9pts) on signal share.

FEP: 1 signal in the last 90 days.
