I am human capital: Chris Willis at TEDxMuskegon

If people are an organization's greatest asset, why do so many businesses still treat them as a liability? When faced with business downturn or disruption, workforce cuts are wide, deep, and often feel indiscriminate to those left to deal with collateral damage. No wonder the term "Human Capital" is associated with an interchangeable cog in a profit-making machine. But what if organizations treated Human Capital with the same respect assigned other financial assets? Could the emerging Knowledge Age economy demand we reInvent how we value our workforce? Chris Willis, explores these ideas in her TEDxMuskegon talk from Nov. 7, 2013. Willis is an entrepreneur and business owner in West Michigan.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
