Human Capital

Leadership drives culture. Culture drives performance. Today's Chief People Officer sits at the vortex of that dynamic. Today’s workplace is shaped by globalization, AI, and the shift to flexible, borderless models. In this environment, the Chief People Officer and HR leaders determine whether culture drives commercial performance or stalls it.
