The HCI Mission
HCI was founded to provide a clearinghouse for new ideas and a catalyst for transformation. Our mission is to help leaders achieve competitive advantage, financial success and market leadership in a global economy characterized by pervasive competition, disintermediation and change.
A Sustainable Competitive Advantage
Business value is increasingly defined as the sum of intangible assets, ranging from the public perception of a company's intellectual capacity, to its perceived ability to create new solutions, enter new markets and respond quickly to opportunities and challenges. As a result, human capital management is becoming one of the most powerful levers for innovation and growth in today's economy.
In a marketplace characterized by disruptive and continuous change, talent may be the only sustainable competitive advantage. Yet most organizations remain mired in industrial-era paradigms and management practices. To transform, organizations must embrace talent management as a strategic discipline that overarches the silos of HR, OD/learning and line functions. The world's most progressive organizations are integrating new talent practices across the enterprise, and investing in talent leadership skills.
A Global Think Tank and Educator
The Human Capital Institute is a global think tank, educator, and executive association that is defining the agenda and setting the pace for the new business science of strategic talent management. HCI is also a source for innovative new thinking in management and leadership for the new economy. With 190,000 members in over 172 countries, HCI represents a strategic association that cuts across internal silos and global cultures, to provide education, tools, best practices and next practices in talent management and leadership.
Through research and collaboration, HCI programs collect original, creative ideas from a field of the brightest thought leaders in talent management. Those ideas are then transformed into measurable, real-world strategies that help its members attract and retain high-performing people, build a diverse, inclusive workplace, and leverage individual and team performance throughout the enterprise.
