Most psychometric tools used today were built before the internet. Yet we still expect them to find our future leaders? In this episode, I sat down with David Jones, CEO and Partner at Mercer Talent Enterprise, to challenge everything we think we know about assessments. We dig into the systems that drive hiring, development, and succession—and ask the big question: Are our tools keeping up with our talent? Here's what we unpack: ✅ Why most assessments are stuck in the 20th century ✅ How the Thriving Index surfaces potential others miss ✅ The untapped power of combining strengths + personality ✅ What AI is (and isn't) doing in psychometrics ✅ Why democratising access could uncover hidden gems ✅ How region-specific data can massively shift effectiveness Quick stats that'll make you rethink everything: → Most tools still benchmark Western, older norms → Over 60% of the Middle East population is under 30 → Engagement spikes immediately after an assessment—yet we act days later This isn't a nice-to-know. It's a leadership necessity. Because the way we assess shapes the way we lead. If you're DONE using outdated tools to make critical people decisions—this episode is your wake-up call.

Jones says GenAI tools tailored to brands make that idea possible, so we challenge him and creative director James Dow to make it happen, right here, right now on the podcast. While that's happening, we also take a look inside a few of the large-scale tools being deployed by major ad agencies right now. Omnicom Advertising Group chief operating officer Deepthi Prakash gives us a peek under the hood of TBWA Worldwide's CollectiveAI platform, which it has built working with companies like Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, Adobe, and more to create tools trained on decades of successful strategies, creative work and philosophies, then utilized to help inform and evaluate new work and ideas. I won't spoil the brand idea we have, but by the end, you may just have a new favorite toothpaste.

Sermon from David Jones on February 9, 2025
Clare meets a passionate proponent of walking today on a hike around Capel y ffin and the Twmpa in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park. Andrew Green has just published a book called Voices on the Path, a History of Walking in Wales and for him it's not just a case of putting one foot in front of the other and admiring the scenery, it's “an activity loaded with all kinds of social, cultural and economic associations”. Their immediate surroundings have long attracted writers and artists from across the generations including William and Dorothy Wordsworth, JMW Turner, Bruce Chatwin and Allen Ginsberg. Also drawn to the beauty of Capel y ffin was the poet and painter, David Jones, described in 1965 as the 'best living British painter' by the then Director of the National Gallery. Peter Wakelin's book 'Hill Rhythms' tells Jones' story, which he wanted to share with Clare on the walk but a twisted ankle meant he had to remain at base, however he used the time to seek out the potential location of one of Jones's best loved paintings.They met at the tiny Capel-y-ffin chapel on the Monmouthshire/Powys border and walked up the Twmpa - also known as Lord Hereford's Knob - in the Black Mountains returning via the valley of Nant Bwch. A walk of just over six miles. Grid Ref for where they met: SO253316Presenter: Clare Balding Producer: Karen Gregor
