Creelman Research

Creelman Research focuses on fresh, interesting and important topics in managing people and culture (i.e. human capital management). In recent years that has meant:* The link between HR and Boards & Investors * HR Analytics or what should properly be called Evidence-based management * Leadership transitions in knowledge based firms (this is all based Dr. W. Wallace's excellent work)* The future of work (see the book I co-authored with Boudreau & Jesuthasan Lead the Work: Navigating a World Beyond Employment * Plus many, many white papers on other relevant topics from performance management to recruitment to information governance. What's the product? The main product is simply David Creelman's unusually deep, broad, and at times quirky understanding of the space- If you are an HR vendor who needs to communicate to HR leaders Creelman Research can help- If you are an HR leader who needs something other than a pre-packaged standard solution, then David Creelman can lead a conversation with your team to frame out the best way forward. David has spoken about human capital reporting at the World Bank in Paris, led leaders from Japan's Recruit on a tour of US HR tech firms, helped Etisalat organize HR conferences in Dubai, and leads a community of practice on evidence-based management with Denise Rousseau (Pittsburgh). He has worked with Henry Mintzberg, John Boudreau and Ed Lawler. Is that a strange mix? Not really if you buy the presumption that these activities demand an unusually broad, deep & quirky understanding of talent and culture.
