In Preziosi, B. (ed.). The 2008 Pfeiffer Annual: Management Development. New York: John Wiley & Sons.

Executing with Insight at the Speed of Change discusses the need for effective improvisational leadership in evoking transformational results within organizations as well as the role of robust human capital analytics (HCA) in facilitating the process. HCA enhances the efficacy of improvisational leadership by improving managerial insight. Within the article, a possible HCA “taxonomy” is proposed, and considerations for implementing supporting technology are presented through the lens of a case study which outlines how one firm successfully integrated HCA into its business decision-making and talent management processes. In addition, challenges and lesson learned from the implementation of HCA are identified and discussed.
