10 authors (some you might just know, some you should) contributing ideas, insights and new ways of thinking: Raj Thamotheram, Senior Adviser, Responsible Investment at AXA; Laurie Bassi of Mc Bassi & Company; Don Young, author of ‘Having their Cake’; Philip Whiteley, chair of the Human Capital Forum; Chris Hodge, Head of the Corporate Governance Committee of the Financial Reporting Council; Robin Roslender, Professor of Accountancy at Heriot-Watt; Dermot Toberty, Director of HR Services for Royal Mail Group; Tim Hoad at IntangAbility; Diane Coyle OBE, author of ‘The Economics of Enough’, and Dr Michael Reddy, who's backing research into Accounting for People 2.0.
Why should you? Because in 2011, human capital is moving from a nice to know concept to a must have way of measuring, managing and reporting people and the value of a business. Because those that are leading the way are reaping heady rewards. Because post GFC regulators and investors are going to be asking someone in your company to have a handle on this new science, and I hope it’s HR.
