<p> The statement 'People are our greatest source of competitive advantage' is hackneyed at best, but still it is true. Author Bradley Hall thinks the main problem is that the leadership in companies doesn't know if their employees are 'better' <p> than their competitor peers and whether they continue to improve annually. He proposes a radical new way of identifying and measuring precisely which activities are most and least responsible for sustained growth, and determining, much the way financial analysis does, which human capital investments will pay dividends over and over. The book maps out a way for HR departments to deliver true business results, and tie human capital initiatives directly and consistently to bottom-line results...The book enables both general managers and HR professionals to create a blueprint of human capital success and a strategy and system for achieving it. In so doing, it calls for 'blowing up' today's HR paradigm and questions many of its assumptions. <p> IHRIM JOURNAL MAGAZINE
