The Red Sox i.e. the baseball team figured it out & led a paradigm shift in #humancapitaldevelopment that led to championship.

Employees Value: Appreciating vs. Depreciating Assets, Chain of Command vs. Chain of Value. Measuring the Intangible & Tangible Values as an Asset Class. How can it be done?

Employees should never been seen as a depreciating asset class. #Futureofwork should always be the opposite of ‘Depreciation’ i.e. loss of value. The primary goal should be understanding the many facets of Employees Intangible Assets & giving it a data driven value.

When most companies go through business & #digitaltransformation, the one asset class on top of chopping board are employees. Without going to boring details, this is not a scientific process. It happens under intense pressure with heightened subjectivity at the decision table. So what this has to do with Employees as an Asset Class?

If #Employees were seen as appreciating asset class i.e. increasing in value over time then their value is not left to Human subjectivity. The #futureofwork has to leverage #technology to measure the supply & demand of employees contribution to the value of an #organization with a #data driven approach.

Good thing, this has already been done in other models.

This very network i.e. LinkedIn knows more of the value about each of us than the companies we work for. How can this be adapted & leveraged?

Of course, the #RedSox way is a major case study. It is not the lack of available models. It is lack of a starting point. It is mindset shit of seeing #Employees more than their positions in the #organization m

And the missing ingredient. The right technology tool. A Future of Work that sees Employees with a different lens.
