Program:

Everyone knows that monetary capital is necessary to support the success of a business. Recent economic contractions and the evolution of the "new-new" economy will elevate the significance of human capital contribution and knowledge to delivering bottom line financial return.

Money is a commodity; human capital is not.

Therefore, business leaders must find ways to leverage human capital into business performance to give their companies competitive advantage.

How do we find the human balance between meeting customer demand, managing real world chaos, and human productivity? How human capital is defined, identified, managed, and maximized, is a topic long neglected. Add to these challenges the trend toward culturalism, globalization, and mobility and the human capital challenge rises in priority as a critical issue for business success.

The questions they will answer include: 

• What is human capital? o How can it be de?ned? 

• What should be looked for in employees? 

• Who is "effective?" 

• How can it be used as "currency" that produces return on investment? 

• How can a company get away from living at the "moment's edge" the needs of customers, emergencies and other pressures diverts attention away from managing human capital? 

• How can a company get the commitment it needs from its employees? 

• How do company leaders communicate powerfully to inspire loyalty from employees?
