Human Capital Systems
Human Capital Strategy
Sustained competitive advantage requires outperforming competitors.
That performance is defined on a set of corporate core competencies – activities that customers and shareholders value most. Beating competitors through core competencies requires that employees in roles most critical to executing core competencies outperform competitor peers.
Information Technology companies gain competitive advantage when their sales reps are viewed as "better" than competitor reps in the eyes of the customer. Retail companies win when their store managers outperform managers of competitor stores.
The output of a HUMAN CAPITAL STRATEGY is a workforce that is more productive than competitors. The components of that strategy are:
- Executive teams – that create and execute to a differentiated strategy
- Leaders – who focus and motivate highly talented people
- Individuals – in key positions that outperform competitor peers
- An organization culture – that provides the right "soil" for individuals to grow
