Talent Supply Chain Working Definition

• Floridas Talent Supply Chain is a system of
  resources and infrastructure that prepares
  people, on a lifelong basis, to advance the needs
  of enterprises of all scales, sizes and sectors.
  Like other supply chains, excellence is achieved
  through customer satisfaction, on-time delivery,
  reliability, foresight and seamless coordination
  and process improvement among and between all
  participants in the chain. In Florida, people are
  participant-owners in the chain, by exerting
  their own transformative abilities to learn,
  apply knowledge and create wealth.
