We are the fastest-growing community of human capital professionals

Next practices do.
You can google "human resources best practices" and find thousands of helpful resources, but which of those HR practices have real, sustained business impact? That's why i4cp focuses on next practices, approaches that correlate to market performance but that few companies are actively using.

Thought leadership
To enhance our member-driven research agenda, we seek guidance from innovative academics and other respected thought leaders.
04
Practical application
Research is great, but it has to be useful. Everything we produce is intended to be applicable and actionable.
