Our industry’s greatest challenge isn't just scaling power or cooling, but cultivating the human talent required to construct and operate Data Centers (DC). We are moving beyond the era of 'hiring to fill gaps' and transitioning into a strategic phase where people are viewed as our most valuable and long-term infrastructure asset. To achieve sustainable growth, the responsibility for talent development must be considered at the outset for all new DC developments and be shared with our clients/owners providing the initial capital. When human capital is considered as a foundational element of the initial investment, it transforms from an operational challenge into a long-term commitment that compliments the new DC campuses.
