The traditional ways of gaining competitive advantage have to be supplemented with organizational capability to manage people, which have been unsuccessful.

But what happens when the individuals who comprise the human capital - employees aren't meaningfully involved in their work. Today, employee engagement and involvement are more vital than ever before to an organization's success and competitive advantage. Gone are the days when a youthful person starting out in his or her career joined a company and stayed until retirement - in today's changing business environment nothing can be certain.
