The Outliers

Abstract

During the research phase I discovered a number of human capital management outliers. In this context, an outlier is a philosophy or approach that is detached from the main body of organisational thinking. Outliers are included here because it is incumbent on boards, in the words of Voltaire, to consider those ‘showing a new road’ or ‘think outside the box’. Needless to say, the featured case studies will not be applicable to all organisations across the tri-sector spectrum.

Our wretched species is so made that those who walk on the well-trodden path always throw stones at those who are showing a new road.
