Talent sharing could be the answer to the changing work dynamics to fill the short-term skills gap, offer a flexible and diverse experience to your teams, and enable your top talent to stack their skills (and not get bored). So why do organisations not do this more readily?

About Suzy Lockwood and ditto

Suzy has spent her career leading and delivering multi-million pound tech transformation programmes in central Government, delivering technical strategy and innovation products. Suzy saw first hand the dependence and taxpayer money spent on contractors to plug skills gaps, but also saw the benefits of cross-pollinating talent between industries, and decided to do something about it. She co-founded ditto in late 2023 with her two co-founders, Hector Stanley & Dave Owen. We’re ditto, the talent sharing marketplace. We are on a mission to bring the shared economy to the permanent workforce. We connect companies from different sectors to share industry-agnostic skillsets via secondment. Our members can borrow, loan or swap permanent talent with ease - whether to provide unique upskilling opportunities to their employees, or to fill a temporary skills gap in their organisation.
