Appendix A Methodology The Global Talent Index is the result of a collaboration between Heidrick & Struggles and the Economist Intelligence Unit; the vision of the former was matched by the research expertise of the latter. The Index measures not only a country’s natural potential for producing talent in socio- demographic terms, but also the conditions necessary to realize this potential. A country may exhibit heady population growth but without a supporting infrastructure and the right cultural contexts, the talent margin will not be able to fully develop. To reflect this multi-layered analysis seven major areas were determined to be of importance: • demographics • quality of compulsory education systems • quality of universities and business schools • quality of the environment to nurture talent • mobility and relative openness of the labour market • trends in foreign direct investment • proclivity to attracting talent Applying their respective areas of expertise in talent assessment and data gathering, the project team from both organizations drew up a list of variables with which to measure the seven areas of interest. These variables combine quantitative measures drawn from a variety of local and international data sources, with qualitative assessments from the Economist Intelligence Unit’s network of country analysts and local contributors. Forecasts were based on the Economist Intelligence Unit’s macroeconomic model and country analysts’ projections for qualitative variables. Some variables, particularly for education, had to be assumed to remain equal in five years, owing to the lack of time on which to base projections. The data was then normalized in order to obtain scores from 1 to 100 (where higher scores meant better performances on the talent measures). Finally, the project team set the weights of the different variables in the overall Index by assigning scores from 1 to 5 for each variable (where 1 = less important and 5 = of critical importance).
