Transform The Way You Think About TalentManagers and organizations are accustomed to thinking about people in industrial economy terms, and within the bureaucracy of organizational silos. HCS graduates understand the knowledge economy paradigm of integrating talent management leadership and practices across the enterprise.

Broaden Your Human Capital ExpertiseStrategic Human Capital and Talent Management span recruitment, HR, OD/Learning and the Line. HCS graduates understand each practice across the talent life cycle, and have the context to think strategically beyond the confines of their own traditional discipline.

Become a Strategic Business PartnerHuman Resources and related disciplines must learn to communicate in the language of business. HCS graduates understand the vocabulary of business strategy, how human capital drives business success, and how to create value through their knowledge of strategic talent management.

Execute and Measure ResultsThe business science of Strategic Talent Management has moved out of the theoretical stage and into the field. HCS graduates go back into their organizations with proven best practices, new ideas and the tools to implement and measure them.

Advance Your CareerAdministrative HR and related functions are being commodified, outsourced and off shored. The future belongs to professionals who can demonstrate strategic capabilities and value to their organizations. There has never been a better time to change the game in your career, by taking a leadership role in this critical new discipline.

Stay CurrentRapid change requires continuous learning. HCS graduates are plugged into an ongoing stream of news, information, research and collaborative opportunities through alumni groups and CHCE.

MASTER

For Human ResourcesTalent Management is the strategic dimension of HR, and is the future of the practice. Human Resources professionals simply must understand and become expert in the new science of Strategic Talent Management in order to advance their careers. HCS is the only credential that proves systematic knowledge in this critical field.

For Corporate and Third Party RecruitersLike HR, recruitment is now about strategy, not commodity sourcing. But talent acquisition is a strategic activity, only to the extent it is connected to outcomes across the value chain. Today's executive search, third-party and corporate recruitment professionals must understand how their role connects to talent management requirements across the life cycle.

For Organizational DevelopmentTalent Management is a key driver of organizational success in a competitive global economy. OD leaders must have a broad and deep understanding of the talent mind set, new talent-focused business models and the construct of integrated talent practices across the enterprise.

For Corporate Education and LearningCorporate transformation from industrial era management practices to global economy talent leadership must be a central focus for corporate education leaders. Teaching the organization to implement and leverage talent practices may be the most important driver of learning ROI over the next decade.

For Line Managers and ExecutivesIn a knowledge economy driven by innovation and constant change, strategic talent issues cannot be delegated to HR. Knowing how to acquire, engage, align, deploy, develop, inspire, empower and lead highly talented people are critical business skills for every leader, at every level of the enterprise.

HCIWhy HCS?Certification for a New and Critical Discipline

"The only unique asset that a business has for gaining a sustained competitive advantage over rivals is its workforce—the skills and dedication of its employees.

There is no other sustainable advantage in the modern, high-tech, global economy."

— Robert Reich, Former U.S. Secretary of Labor

A Unique Case-based ArchitectureThe HCS Workshop offers a unique experiential design that is unlike traditional training courses. It is inclusive, highly interactive and leverages the knowledge of all participants.

Each major topic is first addressed by analyzing a case study, and assessing the strength of a specific talent practice (i.e., engagement, succession, retention, etc). From the case study experience, groups then consider a series of application-based questions they are likely to encounter, and must address in the workplace. Participants discuss and debate the issues, and share strategies for effectively addressing them.

Following these two experiential sessions, a presentation of 15 to 20 minutes is delivered for each topic. Because the group sessions have dealt with many of the core aspects of the particular talent practice, this module offers a concise focus on new views and next practices.

Designed for Strategic LeadersThe Human Capital Strategist (HCS) curriculum is designed for human capital and business professionals who understand that Strategic Talent Management is a powerful competitive lever, and is critical new knowledge for leaders at every level.
