The next step in HR's creation of value-turning the war for talent into victory through organization

"HR is not about HR. HR begins and ends with the business."

The RBL Group and the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan have shaped much of the HR profession for 30 years through the Human Resource Competency Study (HRCS). With this latest (7th) round of research, Dave Ulrich, David Kryscynski, Mike Ulrich and Wayne Brockbank call for us to pivot from fighting the "war for talent"-to creating victory through organization.

Sure to be an HR classic, Victory Through Organization provides the rationale for shifting your focus from how to help individuals prosper to the organization. Filled with fact-based insights and field-tested strategies, it demonstrates that organizational success isn't just about the talent you have-it's about how the collective organization makes the individual talent better. To this end, HR professionals and business leaders will learn:

How they can ensure that organization creates greater value than the sum of individual talent parts.
How to create more integrated HR solutions for business results across multiple stakeholders
How HR departments can better create a comprehensive information advantage
How HR professions can master the competencies that have greatest impact on their personal effectiveness, key inside and outside stakeholders, and business results

Victory Through Organization offers tools business leaders and HR professionals need to better respond to emerging opportunities, and it provides expert advice for building HR departments to deliver measurable business value. You will learn how to build organization capabilities, strengthen systems, and empower human capital-for longer lasting success.

Building and retaining a solid, talented workforce is a great thing. Creating the competitive organization that wins is even more important for business results.
