What else would be different if human capital was treated in the same way as economic capital?

Travelling to the airport today, I watched the thousands of cars, carrying humans to work. It got me thinking.​

What would happen if we thought about, planned for and managed our available human capital, in the same way, we treated economic capital?

• We'd treat it as something that was scarce, not something to be squandered.

• We'd recognise the need to make choices rather than trying to spend the same capital multiple times.

• We'd budget but not in full-time equivalents (FTE), but in Engaged Hearts & Minds.​
