Profitability Per Employee (PPE) is a new metric that’s beginning to show promise as way to measure the intangible value that great talent adds to the corporate balance sheet.  By identifying the incremental improvement in profitability based  on fixed value of total corporate assets, we can begin to isolate the real contributions of pure brain power.  This is an important metric that senior leaders care about in a big way.

	What if we can determine the factors that influence Profitability Per Employee?
	What if we are able to show managers the roadblocks that are preventing the organization from increasing its total return on talent?
	What if we were able to finally prove to managers that they should spend more time developing people than focusing on short-term financial results because it really does create higher value for shareholders?

The new Talent Balanced Scorecard (TBSC) is a management framework designed to:

	Emphasize our understanding of the most critical talent processes;
	Measure in hard terms the real impact of talent processes on business value;
	Target initiatives that will improve the outcomes of talent processes.

The Talent Balanced Scorecard takes a more strategic approach to managing talent processes and their integrated learning & development strategies.  Learn how your organization can take part in shaping the future of this major innovation in talent management.
