Human Capital Lab

Michael E. Echols, Ph.D. Vice President and Director Bellevue University’s Human Capital Lab

Always at the forefront of learning, we are pleased to introduce Bellevue University’s Human Capital Lab, a place where business and academic leaders will work together to measure the impact of training and development investments as reflected in the Lab’s mission statement:

The mission of Bellevue University’s Human Capital Lab is to develop innovative and valuable approaches to unlocking the long-term potential of human capital investments.

The Director of the Lab is Michael E. Echols, Ph.D. Mike, who also serves as Vice President for Strategic Initiatives at Bellevue University, has written three books on the topic and was named one of 2007’s Most Influential Training Professionals in the U.S. by Training Industry, Inc. The Lab will manage a network of researchers, fund Bellevue University graduate-student research, conduct seminars, publish results, and consult with organizations on human capital investment issues.

Lab leads to research and degrees, Ph.D.

The methods developed by researchers in the Lab will continue to contribute to academic content in a new Master’s Program in Human Capital Management at Bellevue University. Additionally, we’ve just announced a partnership with the Chief Learning Officer Institute to offer a Certified Chief Learning Officer program online, and we are currently seeking approval from the Higher Learning Commission to offer a Ph.D. in Human Capital Management.
