Dear Federal, State and Local Government Human Resources Professionals,

There is a clear trend in the government toward the strategic management of human capital (HC). President Bush's management agenda highlights this intent in one of its key goals. The Chief Human Capital Officers (CHCO) Act of 2002 establishes the role of a senior officer reporting directly to agency leadership. And the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) Human Capital Assessment and Accountability Framework (HCAAF) sets comprehensive standards, now codified in regulation.

So the formal elements of strategic HC management are in place, providing official sponsorship for organizational change across government. But how are these new authorities being implemented? What barriers have agencies encountered? And what lessons have they learned in overcoming them? These are the areas of inquiry for the Strategic Human Capital Management for Government Conference.

How Will This Conference Help You And Your Organization?

• Aligning agency HC strategies with organizational missions, goals and objectives; and integrating them into agency budgets and plans
• Closing skill gaps in mission-critical occupations
• Ensuring continuity of leadership through effective recruitment, development, and succession planning
• Sustaining a culture that cultivates and develops a high performing workforce
• Developing and implementing a knowledge management strategy supported by appropriate investments in training and technology
• Holding managers and human resource officers accountable for efficient and effective HC management

During this conference, you will hear first-hand accounts from government practitioners on their efforts to move toward the strategic management of human capital.
