“The most important asset at your company isn’t something you can put
your hands on. It isn’t equipment or the physical plant, and it isn’t data, technology, or intellectual property. The most valuable part of your company is the people—the HUMAN CAPITAL—and any plans to move your business forward have to start there.”
