President Bush''s number-one management initiative for the federal government is the Strategic Management of Human Capital. According to Knowledgeworkers.com, human capital is the accumulated value of an individual''s intellect, knowledge, and experience. In the U.S. federal government, a human capital crisis exists. The factors contributing to a human capital dilemma include a knowledge bleed due to retirement eligibility, changing perspectives on work, and escalating knowledge loss. According to a Joint Hearing on the Federal Human Capital, by 2005, more than half of the 1.8 million non-postal civilian employees will be eligible for early or regular retirement. An even greater percentage of the Senior Executive Service, the government''s core managers, will be eligible to leave.All government agencies are required to develop a human capital strategy by 2005. Many of these agencies have scored a "red" (lowest rating) on the Government Scorecard in the way they are approaching their strategic management of human capital. This book is an executive briefing on developing a successful human capital strategy based on lessons learned from analyzing existing strategies at government agencies such as NASA.Using a knowledge management perspective, Liebowitz identifies four pillars of an effective strategy and gives examples of these in practice.
Industry Reviews

"This book is of the quality, practicality, and usefulness as his earlier text on mechanical design. Material is presented in a manner such that it can be very useful for students in undergraduate courses, those preparing for professional registration, and practicing engineers. Keith provides the equations necessary perform an evaluation; then, includes examples showing the methodology for applying those equations along with the thought process required to achieve a correct answer."
-Richard E. Dippery, Jr., Ph.D., P.E., Kettering University

"Design Engineer's Case Studies and Examples provides a concise compilation of a wide scope of material invaluable to anyone encountering mechanical design applications. It will prove a handy reference for both the practicing professional and the beginning student."
-James A. Speck, P.E., The Johnson Gage Company
