On 11 June 2014, the TalentNZ Menu of Initiatives publication and website were launched at a public event in Wellington. Over 100 people (including MPs, mayors and councillors) attended this event. Speakers included Sam Morgan (who launched the Menu), and the contributors to the 2013 TalentNZ Journal who each spoke for five minutes about one of the Menu’s 28 initiatives. Colin Lynch, whose video is featured below, spoke about identifying the talent you want – the second initiative in the Attract category of the Menu.
Colin is the Deputy Government Statistician and Deputy Chief Executive of Customer Strategy and Delivery at Statistics New Zealand where he has worked since 2011.
