Globalization drives cross-border professional services
For Urbain, “Skills gaps and technologies supporting the rise of globalization lead to the sourcing of professional services beyond national borders.”
Urbain Adrian, Director of International Expansion (Asia) at LittleBig Connection, kicks off the event by highlighting critical global talent trends. Emphasizing the pressing issue of the skills gap, Urbain Adrian points out how Europe is particularly affected, missing one million tech workers (2021 McKinsey). To address these gaps, several regions are emerging as dynamic hubs, maximizing their qualified and available resources.
“The globalization reinforces the idea of cross-border and hybrid procurement, focusing on skills rather than location.” He discusses the growing importance of leveraging global talent pools driven by technological advancements. Today’s strategies prioritize skills over cost. The bestshore model blends local expertise with global capabilities, optimizing costs without compromising quality.
