You can't ask finance for money if you can't show them what the money buys.
Today, Erika and Heiko are joined by Dave Bennett, an ex-CEO and CFO, to answer the question at the top of every HR leader's mind: will finance ever fund reshaping and retraining at scale? Dave's answer is… not without a real business case. HR should stop acting like a cost center and start running like a business unit, an internal consultancy bringing frameworks and measurable value to the table.
Together they explore why culture is the most important and most "woolly" thing, and why the most valuable asset in any company is still the one we understand the least.
Think about it this way: an investment fund has analysts actively managing every stock in the portfolio. Nobody is actively managing the portfolio of humans.
If you're the HR leader who wants to walk into your CFO's office with a plan instead of a request, this one's for you.
