Overview of Organization

The ECGI is an international scientific non-profit association. We provide a forum for debate and dialogue between academics, legislators and practitioners, focusing on major corporate governance issues and thereby promoting best practice.

Our primary role is to undertake commission and disseminate research on corporate governance. Based upon impartial and objective research and the collective knowledge and wisdom of our members, we can advise on the formulation of corporate governance policy and development of best practice and undertake any other activity that will improve understanding and exercise of corporate governance (Armstrong, 2001).

But HR is much more than that, and top management would do themselves and their organizations well if they included HRM and HRD professionals in their strategic planning (Brewster, 2000). There is nothing to lose by doing so, and plenty to gain.

HR role in giving the organization a competitive advantage

As environments become increasingly dynamic, is innovation more or less important? More, obviously. At least adaptation is essential, innovation even better. But we know that the most potent sources of innovation are often ideas that emerge from within the company - usually in connection with an insight that someone has in working with customers. So a strategically minded HR department can craft jobs, create networks among people, and provide the training that helps every person in the organization become part of its innovation engine (Bryman, 2003).

As environments become increasingly dynamic, is it more or less important that your senior leaders are flexible, externally focused and well prepared? Well, obviously, more important.
