This course will help you better understand how to analyze, measure, and account for investments in people. However, although data and analysis are important to investing in people, they are just a means to an end. The ultimate purpose of an investment framework is to improve decisions about those investments. Decisions about talent, human capital, and organizational effectiveness are increasingly central to the strategic success of virtually all organizations (Cascio & Boudreau, 2011). The course will build upon the knowledge attained during business economics. 

This course consists of eight sessions and optional workshop classes, combining theory and practical application in cases.
