Tom McGuire and Linda Brenner draw on unique backgrounds spanning senior roles in operations, finance, and human resources to master the intersection of talent and market value. With Building Business Value through Talent they have created a common framework and language that finally optimizes the essential CEO and CHRO partnership in our knowledge economy.
The connection between HR and business valuation has been nebulous until now. This guide informs a CEO how enterprise value, intellectual value and talent are linked – and how to take practical, measurable actions to maximize results with this in mind. HR no longer needs to worry about ‘having a seat at the table’ – this proves that their role in our knowledge economy requires them to host the party.
It is easy to think of Finance as the steward of financial capital, and Operations as the steward of tangible assets. Tom and Linda’s book shows HR how to be the steward of intellectual capital, which accounts for more than 80% of market valuation. Tom and Linda lay out clearly and conversationally, both the areas on which HR should focus to maximize this stewardship, as well as how the CEO should partner with HR to maximize the market cap of their company. With the ever-increasing influence of Talent on market valuation, Building Business Value Through Talent should be required reading for executives everywhere.
Finally, an approach that proves the value of talent investments and guides HR decision-making in a data-based, value-creating way. This framework recognizes the critical connection between finance and talent that has been missing for far too long. This guide acts as a roadmap for positioning HR as the key to growing business value.
Tom and Linda have developed what will become the standard operating model for CEO and CHRO partnerships. What I appreciate most is that they have combined their practitioner backgrounds, along with their deep expertise in finance and talent management, to develop a value-added framework and guide for prioritizing, operationalizing and measuring the true value of HR investments. They approach the work with a real-world perspective and this approach is long overdue.
