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.

Frequently asked
Do the HR programmes cover people analytics and workforce planning?
Yes. The curriculum runs from analytics for talent management through strategic workforce planning, competency frameworks and succession. Participants leave able to build a workforce plan, apply statistical techniques to the data already sitting in their HRIS, and connect talent decisions to business impact in numbers.
Do programmes address nationalisation and localisation mandates?
Yes — recruitment, retention and succession under nationalisation mandates are covered directly, including competency-based selection and the succession pipelines those policies demand. Participants leave able to build a localisation plan that fills roles with capability, not just headcount.
How does admission to an HR programme work?
Submit an application or a brochure request from the programme page; a senior practitioner answers within one business day, brochure included. There is no online checkout — dates, format and fees are settled in that conversation.
Can we train our whole HR function at once?
Yes. Every programme runs in-house, tailored to your HR operating model, your systems and your workforce priorities, in English or French. A private cohort lets the whole function work on the same live problem rather than sending individuals to separate courses.
