Todd Rovak states that people, irrespective of age, associate themselves more with Batman since he uses tools, technology, and training to improve himself rather than a Superman, who is born perfect. Rovak, who was appointed the CEO of both Capgemini Consulting and Fahrenheit 212 before he was 40, further states that the Batman vs. Superman lens was often spoken about at Fahrenheit 212 while discussing innovation. He explains that companies following the Superman concept for innovation have an industry standard success rate of 15 percent, while those adopting the Batman theory of 'practice and perfect' can anticipate an 87 percent success rate.
Human Capital spoke to Shubhra Sinha,General Manager-Marketing Communications, Denave, who emphasised the relevance of innovation in the modern day workplace, and the innovation@work campaign that is underway in the organisation.

Continuous Learning For Growth
Of late, for organizations particularly in the service sector, people have become the strategy. And, if that is the case, the Learning and Development (L&D) department in organizations, and the industry in general, is likely to witness significant growth in 2017 and the years thereafter.
Creating Open Spaces And Minds
As the boundaries of life between work and home continue to blur, employers and employees are sitting up and are noticing the ways and means to offer and avail a worthwhile experience at the workplace.
Striking The Right Balance
In 2017, an employee in the HR Department of a leading global company received an excel sheet attachment in his official mail. While the content seemed harmless, it was in fact a well disguised Ransomware attack which had in fact placed several companies worldwide in the dock. Ransomware attacks targeting HR departments across the globe have since been in vogue since they possess valuable employee data which can be used to commit crimes such as tax frauds and the like.
The Multifaceted Advantages Of AI
AI can speed and automate data collection, make fundamental observations, systemize HR issues, and differentiate customer and employee profiles. But, corrective measures and final decisions can only be approved by people who can understand how to leverage AI tools to acquire accurate information sans the noise and interpret them the right way.

The idea of the best fit works only in a perfect universe. In reality, what talent specialists and hiring managers should focus on is getting the close fitment. They should work with an approach that bridges the gap between what is (available) and what needs to be (done).
A Matter Of Strategic Timing!
The term 'work-life balance' has become a popular chant for all working professionals today. A world of different opinions continue to pervade our lives, with one actually affirming that there truly is no direct relationship between the parallel worlds we live in.
Picture Out Of The Frame
A few months ago, Moon Jae-in, the President of South Korea, made an unusual announcement.
Analysis
It is paramount for a pharmaceutical company to meet the business requirement of regulatory compliance.
How Can They Fire Her?
It is a common phenomenon in the corporate landscape to misinterpret the inability to respond to a query by a Manager as a serious lapse which at times leads to termination of his/her services. As a fallout, not only do they risk losing out a person with superior managerial skills, they also dampen the spirit of the juniors in her department, leading to sinking morale and reduced engagement.
