Strategic Talent Management
Market value is increasingly defined by talent and other intangibles. In fact, less than 20% of current S&P 500 values are based on physical assets today. The balance is comprised of intangibles including brand, technologies and human capital. Of these, the human capital asset is by far the most powerful.
That means human capital is the most important competitive lever in the global knowledge economy, yet most organizations are still operating with industrial-era leadership and management practices. The Human Capital Institute is the only professional association dedicated to advancing the business science of Strategic Talent Management through innovation, education and action.
The Human Capital Institute welcomes forward-thinking executives and future leaders who realize that finding, capturing, developing and empowering highly talented people are the activities most linked to future success. Increasingly, organizations are competing on the basis of intellect, innovation, agility and execution. As a result, a solid understanding of the fundamentals of human capital management is critical for today's leaders throughout the enterprise.

Increasingly, HR is being outsourced and taken offshore, because one company's 401k plan is no more strategically important than another's. As a result, HR professionals with purely administrative and soft skills are increasingly at risk. As the human capital paradigm gains traction, great organizations cannot afford to delegate acquisition and development to administratively-skilled HR departments. Acquiring the best and brightest people and unleashing their creativity are not "by the book" processes. They rely on risk-based decisions that require mature business judgement, sound financial skills and decisive action.
