People are not an implementation issue, nor just an operational or strategic asset.
People are the raw resource around which business success revolves.
No strategy, however well designed, will work unless you have the right people, with the right skills and behaviors, in the right roles, motivated in the right way and supported by the right leaders. Adopting new technologies without having the right people to use them, wastes billions of dollars of investment by companies throughout the world. The Hay Group is helping organizations around the world rewrite the equation for success, by putting people before strategy. One thread throughout the Hay Group's history has been our emphasis on people. You can't ignore or neglect the human side of the business equation if you want to succeed.
