High Performance Business Strategy

Authors Ap Eigenhuis and Rob van Dijk see a natural alliance between the CEO and the HR executive. HR executives, they argue, must position themselves in the forefront of solving new business challenges. In High Performance Business Strategy, they show senior management -- both within HR and outside of it -- how to analyze the weak points in a business and focus HR on transforming the problem areas. They introduce a unique online checklist that identifies areas of corporate weakness, and they explain how to use the results to build a new HR strategy. Throughout the book and the checklist, the authors have incorporated state-of-the-art knowledge on what works in large, international organizations. This knowledge is based on their experience working with CEOs and senior executives in large, international corporations and on exclusive access to research conducted by the Hay Group.
