It involves a transition from the traditional way of managing human resources based on what people have (e.g. qualifications) to what people can do (performance).

- Drive business results
- Retain key talent
- Raise the bar" of individual and organizational performance
- Integrate cultures following a merger
- Increase in competitive advantage
