Washington D.C. and Santa Clara, CA - October 11, 2005 - The Human Capital Institute (HCI), a think tank and association focused on talent management strategies, and the Executive Development Center, a division of the Business School at Santa Clara University (SCU), announced today a partnership to develop a series of Human Capital Leadership programs for Silicon Valley's business community. SCU is a comprehensive Jesuit, Catholic university located in California's Silicon Valley.
"HCI and SCU's Executive Development Center share a common, urgent goal to provide human capital training to executives and strategic HR professionals," said Allan Schweyer, HCI's Executive Director. "A survey by SCU's own Leavey School of Business showed the impact of a global, knowledge economy as half of Silicon Valley's outsourced jobs are lost to India, China and other parts of Asia. Organizations everywhere need education to effectively plan for, attract, engage, develop and lead the very best talent. This is the only way to remain competitive in the knowledge economy."
The first event in the series will be held on December 1, from 8:00 - 11:15 am at Santa Clara University (California Mission Room - Benson Memorial Center). The event begins with a networking session and continental breakfast, followed by a program led by the "father" of human capital metrics: author, founder and CEO of Human Capital Source and Workforce Intelligence Institute and Bay area resident, Dr. Jac Fitz-enz.
"Santa Clara University recognizes the pressing need for human capital education for executives across all sectors of the economy," said Barry Posner, Dean, SCU's Leavey School of Business. "By partnering with HCI to present the Human Capital Leadership series, we can provide a highly accessible forum to present the most forward-thinking human capital authorities today."
Interested parties may register for Dr. Fitz-enz' presentation by calling toll free, 866-538-1909 or online at: www.humancapitalinstitute.org.
