Almost every investor and business leader acknowledges the need for better methods for assessing the value of companies. The sum of an organization's hard assets and its "intangibles" is too blunt an instrument. Investors seek insights about the quality of a firm's workforce and, especially, its leadership, so they can make a more sophisticated, informed investing decision. Until now, the professional landscape offered few reliable, structured processes for measuring the quality of leaders. Once again, Dave Ulrich – arguably the foremost human capital thinker – provides the groundwork, in this case offering a tool set and a process that can change the game of valuing and rating companies. Long-term investors with significant assets to invest will gain the most from Ulrich's process, but getAbstract believes it will also prove valuable to CEOs, board members, and anyone seeking a structured, evidence-based, rigorous method of evaluating organizational leadership.
