The Human Capital Deficit study was produced as part of a research
project entitled Managing Human Capital: Keeping Hope Alive in Organizations,
at the Harvard Business School. The study is an important contribution
to our understanding of Islamic nonprofit organizations and their
views on human capital. The report provides both empirical and anecdotal
evidence that the “human capital deficit” is a major
problem within Islamic organizations. According to the report, it
is a growing problem that needs to be taken more seriously by the
Muslim community.
While the report provides many answers, it also raises interesting
new questions about funding for nonprofits and the value that the
Muslim community has placed on professional talent. The way that
nonprofits deal with the problem in the future will undoubtedly
impact the long term sustainability of the organization and the
sector as a whole. The conclusion and recommendations proposed are
certainly a step in the right direction.
In addition, the study raises numerous other social policy issues
that ISPU hopes to address in subsequent reports. We invite feedback
on this salient study and hope it sparks opportunities to discuss
the issue further.
