Human Resources Leadership

Build an effective human capital strategy to drive your organization’s competitive advantage.

In the contemporary global economy, competition is prevalent, capital is abundant, ideas can be realized swiftly and inexpensively, and workers frequently change jobs. The biggest differentiator in creating an advantage is something that every business has, but which few fully utilize: talent. In this climate of rapid workplace disruption, 41 percent of executives said that building workforce capability through continuous employee development is one of the most important actions they are taking to transform work. Yet only 17 percent say their workers are ready to adapt, reskill, and assume new roles. For leaders today, the act of aligning human capital strategy with business strategy is one of the most important things they can do to prepare strategically for the future of work.

This program will help leaders engage with the structures, processes, and routines for attracting, developing, motivating, leading, and retaining the people needed to execute business strategy. It is structured to follow the sequence of decisions that leaders would need to make with regard to their workforce. Over six weeks, you’ll learn how to build your organization’s sustainable competitive advantage by effectively managing workforce transformation through an effective human capital strategy. Throughout the program, you’ll discover the importance of a growth mindset when approaching performance management, and the imperatives that inform the future of work.
