HR of the FutureHR Teams are or should be:

• critical to creating a dynamic culture critical to the organization's survival.• finding, creating, nurturing all employees with the Agile mindset.• promoting innovation, servant leadership, and continuous improvement at all levels and

functions.• creating a culture for supporting a happy workplace that is an experience, not just a job.

People Before Strategy: A New Role for the CHRO (Harvard Business Review)• CEOs know that they depend on their company’s human resources to achieve

success. Businesses don’t create value; people do.• Elevating HR requires totally redefining the work content of the chief human

resources officer.• Business will benefit from better management of not just its financial resources

but also its human ones.• CHROs should recommend ways to use human capital to unlock or create value.
