Creating a New Revolution: An IHRIM Human Capital Measurement and Analytics Event Scheduled for Philadelphia, PA

The success or failure of most organizations in the years ahead will lie in the knowledge and competitiveness of their human capital. For human capital to perform optimally it must be regularly assessed, measured and evaluated with the same diligence that an organization views any significant investment. IHRIM’s event, September 18-19 in Philadelphia, will provide the tools for HR professionals to create, maintain and successfully utilize a metrics and analytics process.

Burlington, MA (PRWEB) July 10, 2007 -- IHRIM, the leading professional association for knowledge, education and solutions supporting human capital management is presenting a one and one-half day event, "Human Capital Measurement and Analytics: Creating a New Revolution," to be held at the Hilton Philadelphia Airport, September 18-19, 2007. The event, sponsored by DoubleStar and HRsmart, brings together an extraordinary line-up of speakers with deep knowledge of HR metrics and analytics.

"It's becoming increasingly important for executive management to view the knowledge and information -- primarily developed, managed and represented by people -- as a key component to organizational success," said Lynne Mealy, IHRIM president and CEO. "Attendees to this event will learn how to measure and analyze human capital and how to leverage that knowledge and utilize it as a dynamic competitive differentiator for their organizations."

The keynote presenter will be Jeanne M. DiFrancesco, principal of ProOrbis, LLC who will speak on "The Value of Investments in Human Capital -- The Intangible Revolution."
