The New Human Capital Strategy: Improving the Value of Your Most Important Investment--Year After Year

A roadmap for delivering measurable business results by systematically improving the performance of those in roles most important to customers and shareholders.

It is often said that the only true source of sustained competitive advantage is people. But what does that mean and how can this be measured and managed? How many organizations know whether their human capital outperforms their competitors, or even whether it improves year-over-year? And what is the strategy for continually improving that performance?

Proposing a radical shift in the way organizations measure and manage their people, The New Human Capital Strategy asserts that competitive advantage is a function of four areas of strength:

• effective executive teams
• leaders who deliver results
• outperforming competitors in key positions
• workforce performance

Using examples, research, and metrics, this essential guide provides you with a system for ensuring that your people are more valuable this year than the last.
