I've actually done a piece in one of my columns on those human capital levers, and you've reminded me that I need to do an update here on the blog. Your questions go to the heart of this issue; hopefully, my post on this topic will suggest a way to answer these and many others for a specific business. Mick, thank you so much for your comments.

While I couldnt agree more that Revenue per FTE and Profit per FTE are the two metrics that senior executives care most about (to the point of trying to maximize the numerator while minimizing the denominator), the next step is to identify the human capital levers that drive financial results. What type of workforce (full-time vs. part-time, domestic vs. international, entry-level vs. experienced, etc) will produce new revenue streams? How do we move them around the organization to maximize their contribution? What skills will we need in 5 years to maintain current competitive advantage? This is where analytics and planning really comes into its own. If HR doesn’t know the answers, it is time to seek out help. Looking forward to the next several parts of this conversation.
