Dr. Jac , as he is known in human capital management circles, will work closely with i4cp and group members to take the Evidence-Based HR Exchange to the next level. He is acknowledged as the father of human capital strategic analysis and measurement, having developed the first HR quantitative reporting system in 1978. He has published 12 books and over 350 articles, reports and book chapters on measurement and strategic HR management.

"I welcome the opportunity to work with i4cp's Evidence-based HR Exchange members as they strive to create a vision and systematic approaches to building workforce architecture. Our work is about planning, predicting and performing - and managing today's competencies to build tomorrow's capabilities," Dr Jac said.

“To be able to learn directly from Dr. Jac is an invaluable experience,” said Tom Sullivan, Manager of Workforce Analytics at Sprint Nextel Corporation and a member of the Evidence-based HR group, “not only from a human capital perspective, but also a general business perspective, which combined, can transform human resources into a strategic partner influencing who, how and why work gets done.”

“Dr. Jac is a legend in the world of workforce analytics - and what a treat it is to have him as part of the Evidence-based HR exchange," said April Sandoval, another group member and Senior Manager of Workforce Analytics at Cisco. "His experience coupled with the reality of where HR is today brings clarity to where we need to go and the challenges we are up against. What an opportunity we have in front of us to make a difference on how our companies use workforce information to impact the bottom line.”

And Vikas Malhotra, Director of HR Metrics and Management at American International Group, Inc., added, “I think it is a great advantage to have someone with the experience and knowledge of Jac to lead our Exchange group. His knowledge will help guide this group and promote us to the next level in HR analytics.”
