Why study talent?

Talent is the primary building block of society, the means of all civilizations and the foundation of human dignity and flourishing. While organizations and individuals all preach about talent, we lose out dramatically on human potential when we do not hone it with intention, strategy, and clarity. To study talent is to bring to the forefront the most essential component of life and society: what humans can do.

What we do

Our mission is to bridge the academic silos for existing research in talent, and to cultivate and organize original research into the questions of the history of talent, talent development, talent identification, talent organization, and the philosophical underpinnings of talent.

Talent is not confined to any single discipline, and its study should reflect that multidisciplinary whole: through history, philosophy, economics, politics, public policy, psychology, religion, technology, and more.
