Key Barrier of Human Capital Return to be Addressed in Webcast; Batrus Hollweg Applies Solution with High Definition Selection Science

A webcast on May 31st will address one of the most frequent barriers for human capital returns: establishing standards to clearly define great performance in measurable terms.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) May 10, 2007 -- The power of talent to propel a sustainable competitive advantage is widely acknowledged in today’s business world. Yet few companies are able to successfully reap the full benefits from human capital strategies. A webcast on May 31st featuring Batrus Hollweg International CEO Lewis Hollweg, Ph.D., will address one of the most frequent barriers: establishing standards to clearly define great performance in measurable terms.

“Almost every major company has created a set of competencies that serve as a broad target for hiring, succession planning (http://www.batrushollweg.com/OrganizationalTools/SuccessionPlanning.htm) and performance management. However, many competency models (http://www.batrushollweg.com/OrganizationalTools/CompetencyModeling.htm) fail to create specific targets and standards that can be converted into measurable attributes. These models sound good but do not deliver. Our webcast examines the performance measurement barrier and a new solution: High Definition Selection Science (http://www.batrushollweg.com/),” said Lewis Hollweg, CEO and Chairman of Batrus Hollweg International.

According to Hollweg, leading edge psychometric research now enables companies to view talent with high definition clarity and vivid detail. With a sharp picture of talent potential, High Definition Selection Science maximizes the impact of both selection systems and performance management systems.
