1×12 Talent and Leadership for an Industry in Transformation

This episode by Julio Díaz Cohen explores how the gap between technological advancement and human capability development has become one of the main barriers to modern business growth. The author argues that talent must be managed as critical infrastructure, since the implementation of tools such as artificial intelligence will fall short without a workforce capable of understanding, applying, and leading them effectively. The episode highlights the shift toward hybrid professional profiles that combine deep technical expertise with essential human skills, including critical thinking, communication, and adaptability. It also emphasizes that corporate leadership must evolve to foster a culture of continuous learning and psychological safety rather than focusing solely on operational control. Finally, it proposes a strategic agenda for organizations to embed capability development into every technology investment, helping ensure sustainable long-term value.
