Market Discernment is about using real-time intelligence to understand the business and the labor market deeply enough to find, reward, and keep the right talent — benchmarking, forecasting, and sourcing on.
In a labor market where most organizations already can't fill the roles they need, the ability to anticipate rather than scramble is a genuine advantage. This is the dimension for the leader who wants to be ahead of the shift, not explaining it after the fact.
