"Alan Coppin is a rare individual. His experience and insight span
private and public sectors, charities, and the Armed Forces. The
vital importance of human capital is the thread which has bound all
this together. His book is a rich gold mine of data, research,
wisdom and anecdote." -Sir Gerry Grimstone, chairman of Standard
Life, deputy chairman of Barclays, non-executive director of
Deloitte and lead non-executive director at the Ministry of Defence
In this new book Alan Coppin, a leader with extensive cross-sector
experience, draws on discussions with leaders in the public and
private sectors, as well as from charities, the military and trade
unions to offer you the ideas and practical applications that have
proved effective in ensuring human capital is properly valued and
managed. Most business decisions are based on lag data - historical
reporting of what happened last month, last quarter or last year.
It's solid, real and comforting. Unfortunately, it's also not a
very good indicator of what might happen next. The best lead data -
information with genuine predictive power - comes from
understanding your people and what they can deliver. All major
organizations claim that people are their greatest asset and yet,
at the first sign of problems, the first action they take is to
fire people. Why, because employees are also an organisation's
biggest liability in terms of cost - and their cost is much easier
to quantify than their value. But, like any asset, human capital
will only deliver its full value if it is properly understood,
measured and managed. The author offers you the tools you need to
take the issue beyond the HR department and satisfy the number
crunchers in the boardroom. With their help, you can make human
capital part of the normal financial metrics essential to running a
successful organisation. Isn't it time you understood and managed
the metrics that can predict your organization's future rather than
relying on those that simply report on its past?
