I admire Clive Shepherd’s blog, but his recent swipe at the phrase ‘people are our most important asset’ is wide of the mark. I started writing a comment in response, but then realised that it was turning into an article.
You see, people generally are an organisation’s most important asset, it’s just you can’t say so.
Here’s why….TX
Clive says that people are important to their employers, but not as important as other key assets, for example:
1. the brand/reputation (Nike, Gucci, etc.);
2. fixed assets (property developers, landlords);
3. rights to natural resources (oil companies, etc.);
4. money (banks, etc.);
5. algorithms (Google, etc.);
6. secret recipes (KFC, Coke, etc.);
7. systems and processes (widespread);
8. its customer base/membership (MySpace)
9. patents (pharmaceutical companies, Blackboard – I wish).
