What is HubCap Digial. Library, document viewer and business network information.
Human Potential Accounting (HubCap's founder) sponsored Accounting for People 2.0 picks up the threads from its 2005 predecessor, but is a very different animal in a much changed context.
The first meeting of the Taskforce took place on Oct 21st 2010 in London’s Soho Hotel. Accounting for People 2.0: The Business Case for Human Capital Reporting drew together over 25 business leaders and comprised interactive discussions led by HPA and HubCap's CEO Dr Michael Reddy, with Tim Hoad and Richard Phelps on Financial Reporting; Raj Thamotheram and Ali Gil on Investing; and Morgan Witzel and Ann Graham on Alternative Business Models.
Participants were invited to collaborate on HubCap, where a series of expert papers have been uploaded to aid deliberations (papers included in the forthcoming Human Capital Handbook 2011). The aim is to coalesce thinking into a far-reaching proposal for legislative change: an AfP 2.0 People Reporting Framework, which will be submitted to the Government by December 2011.

Inspire new ways of thinking in the HubCap forum
HubCap forums discuss what’s next for people in the workplace: how they can be better managed, measured, reported and valued.
They bridge disparate voices such as getting HR talking to Finance, take the latest ideas in the lecture room and bring them into the boardroom, draw attention to and assess global points of view.
Hopefully they inspire new areas of research, new books, new approaches, new policies.
With luck, they will help the next generation change the way we think, value, manage - and talk - about people.

Connect with others in the HubCap business network
The HubCap human capital network connects and invites participation and perspectives from too often disparate professions: academia, politics, journalism, corporate management, consulting.
It's not LinkedIn or Facebook of course.
And it doesn't want to be.
The central object of our network is not where you work or what you do when you play.
It's designed to enable those with human capital related content (writers, authors, editors) and those who want to open it up for discussion (professionals as well as fellow authors) to publish and consume the latest ideas.
So if you have something to publish, or are interested in connecting with others eager to discuss the latest published human capital ideas, join the HubCap network.
It's free too.
There are document viewers out there. Scribd have one, Google too. Scribd and Google doc viewers are great, but they’re one-size-fits-all, appealing to people who want to read Jamie Oliver recipes or the latest Harry Potter. We wanted a doc viewer that does what we - and you - want it to do. So what can our viewer do now?
Each document (Word to PDF to PPT to Excel and beyond) gets put in the library for everyone to see as well as in your own bookshelf for you to manage. Clicking on the thumbnail, it opens in the viewer. You can scroll around, zoom in and out, add comments. It’s a little basic – for now – but we will be refining it constantly, with one caveat: we want you to tell us what you want it to do (not something Google would probably ask). Meantime, coming soon to somewhere near you, will be a document viewer which offers:
- Full screen mode so you can sit back, sip your tea, and get the full picture
- The ability to search within the text and highlight keywords to make research easier
- The ability to forward a good find to a grateful friend
- The ability to embed (like a YouTube video) your doc in our doc viewer on your site, blog, intranet
So sign in and give it a try.

The goal though is not just to aggregate the latest thinking.
It’s not just to use the document viewer – one of only a handful of companies – think Google, NYT, Scribd – to develop this tech – to lens and socialise the ideas within.
It’s to use the library’s wrap-around networking functionality to connect authors to readers, accelerate the ideas exchange between academia and business, East to West, from concept into practical reality.
Especially now, we need edgeless thinking and actionable intelligence.
