Talent management run tactically — filling vacancies, processing reviews — leaves the strategic value of the workforce unclaimed. The Human Capital Strategist (HCS) masterclass is the recognised credential for strategic knowledge in the human capital field, and a career milestone for HR, organisational development, recruitment, corporate learning and line executives. Updated yearly to keep pace with new research, ideas and tools, it now includes modules on human capital analytics, social media in talent management and leading virtual teams. Through interactive, case-based learning that drives discussion, collaboration and strategic analysis, the cohort works the HCI Strategic Talent Lifecycle Model end to end — from workforce planning through acquiring, retaining, developing, deploying and leading talent.
