Whether you call it human capital, the workforce, an intangible, or simply people – “it” represents the single largest asset that most business leaders know the least about. Now, more than ever before, executives are urgently seeking ways to manage this asset to drive performance and establish enduring competitive advantage. And, as if the stakes weren’t high enough, boards, and increasingly the investment community, are intensifying their demand for proof that this asset is performing.

Traditional approaches, such as benchmarking and copying best practices of market leaders, have failed to deliver the required results.

Play to Your Strengths gives business leaders an entirely new, yet proven approach to measure and manage the value of their workforce on business results – achieved entirely from within their own organizations. Underpinned by extensive research and examples of companies that have adopted this approach and consequently got “it” right, Play to Your Strengths explains how to create and execute workforce strategies that are as valuable to the business as business strategies themselves.

Through this new science, companies are now beginning to understand the causal connections between workforce practices and measurable business outcomes – and consequently, realize significant, long-term economic and competitive gains.
