Why HCI?

Global Thought Leadership and Best Practices

A Think Tank, Educator and Global Association

The Human Capital Institute (HCI) is a think tank, educator, and global association dedicated to advancing the new business science of strategic talent management. We provide world-class research, global thought leadership, unique educational opportunities, and access to a social network of over 190,000 progressive human capital and business leaders.

HCI members share the belief that talent is the only sustainable competitive advantage in a global marketplace, and are moving their organizations past the fading paradigm of the industrial economy, to embrace 21st century business models and management practices.

Defining 21st Century Business Practices

Strategic talent management is emerging as a powerful lever for competition in the 21st century, and organizations worldwide are racing to create new ways to unleash innovation, scale productivity and drive financial results. But there is no textbook for the rapid change of today’s marketplace. Just as pioneers like Max Weber, Frederick Taylor and Alfred Sloan invented the practices that defined the industrial age, forward-thinking human capital professionals are now defining the global talent economy.

Strategic Talent Management

Strategic talent management is the next career step for human capital professionals, who are being asked to step up from their traditional roles, to add new strategic value to the organization. It is also critical new knowledge for line executives who rely increasingly on the contribution of high performing and high potential talent, for competitive success.  
 
No organization understands this new discipline as comprehensively, or has done more to define its principles and practices, than HCI. Our unique knowledge, resources and networks are helping our Executive Members achieve new levels of accomplishment in their careers, and leadership within their organizations.

HCI’s Unique Value

The Human Capital Institute is a global clearinghouse and catalyst for new ideas and next practices, and a resource for the most progressive organizations and executives in the world. We are not an HR association, though we serve many strategic HR executives. Our mission is the integration of human capital and business strategy, and our unique value is defining the paradigms and talent practices that result in a high-performance organization. In the process, we help traditional managers become talent leaders, and transform century-old management models into talent-driven innovation and game-changing results.

HCI’s Global Network

HCI is one of the fastest growing executive associations today, with over 190,000 members worldwide, and 2,000 new members joining each month. Our members are strategic human resources, OD/learning and line executives who share the conviction that human capital is the only sustainable competitive advantage in a global economy.
 
HCI’s network also includes a number of marquee resources. From top business schools like Wharton, Kellogg and Tuck, global consultancies like Deloitte, Accenture and Booz Allen, and partners like Dr. Gary Hamel’s Management Information Exchange (MIX), HCI derives a rich stream of the most innovative thought leadership and creative new ideas.

HCI’s HR, Recruitment and Learning Conferences

HCI’s talent management summits and conferences are strategic events, designed for the most progressive executives in human capital and line management. They deliver cutting-edge thought leadership, new research and case studies, filled with innovation and new ideas that drive the market.

HCI’s HR Conferences are approved for SHRM PHR and SPHR certification credits.

HCI’s Strategic HR Certification Programs

HCI’s talent management certification programs are the step beyond PHR and SPHR. They are designed to help human capital professionals step up from traditional industrial-era HR, to a new strategic role in the organization.

HCI’s HR Certification courses are approved for SHRM PHR and SPHR certification credits.
