The Moneyball principle

The Oakland A's couldn't outspend anyone, so they found value the market had missed. Talent works the same way. You don't always need to spend more. You need to look better.

    The skills, capabilities and team structure that edge requires.

  3. Discover

    Exceptional people, found beyond the usual talent pools.

  4. Assess

    Against what the role actually needs, not only the CV.

  5. Build

    Attract and hire the people who will make the difference.

  6. Scale

    Keep developing the strategy as the organisation grows.
