operations director and co-founder of Wavedriver Ltd., a subsidiary of
PowerGen plc. Dave, a Harvard graduate, is a member of the steering

Q. How can HR sync its productivity with business needs?Dave: Ricardo is a global business that is knowledge-driven and people-led. It is essential we focus on attracting and retaining the best talent. The HR function is thus mission-critical to us in developing and retaining the talent and accumulated knowledge on which our business thrives and on which its future depends.
Q. Can HR influence overall strategy and results of a firm?
Dave: HR is central to development and implementation of the corporate strategy. This is reflected in our “Right Team and Right Culture” strategic theme. We aim to seek out the best available talent externally through our internal talent management and development programme.
