Human Capital Institute and Aberdeen Group form new research partnership

The Human Capital Institute (HCI), an international non-profit think tank and educator in talent management strategies, and Aberdeen Group, a research firm that helps enterprises derive tangible business value from technology-enabled solutions, announced today a new partnership to jointly aggregate research data across a variety of important topics in human capital management.

This partnership is an important step towards achieving our objective of helping organizations evolve their focus from human resources to human capital, said Alan Schweyer, HCIís Executive Director. Aberdeen Group is known for high-quality, actionable research, making them an ideal partner in our mission to show business leaders that effectively managing talent is key to remaining competitive in a knowledge economy.

The agreement includes a series of research projects and learning events for the HCI community. Upcoming webcasts will feature Dr. Katherine Jones, Aberdeenís Research Director of Enterprise Applications and an HCI Thought Leader, presenting key findings of the co-sponsored research. Complete research findings also will be published and made available to HCI members and Aberdeen clients.

Driving a talent mindset throughout the enterprise is key to successfully acquiring, engaging, developing, and retaining top talent and the human capital they bring with them, said Dr. Jones, We at Aberdeen look forward to providing data to show leaders in all sectors of the economy that talent management is essential to the success of their organizations.

Jones continued: ìStrategic management of human capital leads to competitive advantage. High performance enterprises require a high performing workforce. Our actionable research helps companies achieve that advantage.î
