Modern corporations habitually calibrate along a single measure: a financial
one. This is corporate longitude. The trouble is that it gives only part of
the picture, and the other key co-ordinate is missing. A practicable method
for measuring corporate longitude - or to put it another way, intellectual capital
- is urgently needed. Intellectual capital is a combination of human capital
- the brains, skills, insights and potential of those in an organisation - and
structural capital - wrapped up in customers, processes, databases, brands and
systems. Mindcompass provides a way to measure these intangibles as well as
the financial facts, and to navigate through the turbulent waters of business
and complete the picture.
