What is Social Capital Analysis & What is it Doing For Organizations?

What is the one tool that is likely to change how we approach HR and OD strategy in the future? I believe it is likely to be Social Capital Analysis. By focusing on the trust connections within organizations, HR and OD professionals can improve outcomes of their initiatives in such areas as succession planning/leadership development, onboarding, change management, employee engagement, and mergers and acquisitions, just to name a few.

I know that this is late notice for a rather high-ticket training opportunity, but if you are interested in cutting-edge tools, have some extra dollars in your training budget, and are open Dec 5 – 7 in Louisville, KY or Dec 7 – 9 in Lexington, KY, this could be the most important opportunity of your career!

If you’re not familiar with Dr. Karen Stephenson’s work - here are the highlights from a SHRM retreat and article on how Social Capital Analysis has helped organizations in aligning their HR and OD strategies to move organizations forward.

What can you learn in Social Capital Analysis Certification Training? Why go now? Our Associate Cathy Fyock says: 

  • There will likely not be another Social Capital Analysis Certification Training for several months. And, unless you’re on the west coast, this could be the closest training opportunity until late in 2012.
  • If you participate in the training and decide to do an analysis in your firm in 2012, the cost for the survey will be discounted. Also, if you sign up for a 3 year contract, the entire cost of your training will be credited toward the investment of the survey.
  • You’ll be able to spread your investment for training and the surveys over budgets for 2011 and 2012!
  • Whomever attends the training will be well prepared to understand exactly how the analysis can be used given the specific issues you are currently facing at your organization. By having a trained and certified individual internally you will be able to leverage that knowledge and better use the tool to solve your unique issues and challenges.
  • The training in Kentucky will be facilitated by the pioneer in Social Capital Analysis herself - Dr. Karen Stephenson.
  • You’ll have the benefit of an intimate learning environment since the training is limited to 10 people per certification cohort. You’ll receive lots of one-on-one input directly from Dr. Stephenson.
  • Thie training has been officially approved for 18 Strategic Credit Hours through HRCI!
