4. Research
Boards - comfortable with people who get the numbers.
Perception - HR is short on this, and always has been.
Survey < 1% UK's senior executives have HR expertise
Hmmm, So what?
Board members need to be great leaders. Leaders of
people, leaders of innovation, leaders of their industry.
Does this require HR expertise?
HR role - tools and skills - successful with their people.
HR leaders are finding other ways to interface.

being a support

business player that can
