The international best seller Human Resource Champions helped set the HR
agenda for the 1990s and enabled HR professionals to become strategic
partners in their organizations. But earning a seat at the executive
table was only the beginning. Today's HR leaders must also bring
substantial value to that table. Drawing on their 16-year study of over
29,000 HR professionals and line managers, leading HR experts Dave
Ulrich and Wayne Brockbank propose The HR Value Proposition. The authors
argue that HR value creation requires a deep understanding of external
business realities and how key stakeholders both inside and outside the
company define value. Ulrich and Brockbank provide practical tools and
worksheets for leveraging this knowledge to create HR practices, build
organizational capabilities, design HR strategy, and marshal resources
that create value for customers, investors, executives, and employees.
Written by the field's premier trailblazers, this book charts the path
HR professionals must take to help lead their organizations into the
future. Ulrich is a professor at the University of Michigan School of
Business and the author of 12 books and more than 100 articles on the
subject of human resources. Brockbank is a clinical professor of
business at the University of Michigan School of Business, the author of
award-winning papers on HR strategy, and an adviser to top global
organizations.
