Is your people analytics capability positioned to influence the workforce decisions that drive business impact?

Many organizations have invested heavily in people analytics tools, dashboards and reporting capabilities. Yet the strategic impact of these investments remains uneven, with some analytics capabilities still focusing on reporting rather than business impact despite the desire of analytics professionals to contribute to organizational effectiveness. And now AI is starting to disrupt, in both positive and negative ways, how people analytics is practiced.

Join us for a live 90-minute Enterprise Effectiveness Network Session in which Dana Minbaeva (Professor of Strategic Human Capital, Kings College London) and Alec Levenson (Senior Research Scientist) will share insights about how to advance within the People Analytics Maturity Matrix and approach people analytics as an organizational capability. Participants will gain an understanding of where their organizations sit within the maturity matrix; what actions to take to ensure analytics inform workforce decisions that drive business impact; and how AI is poised to alter people analytics strategies and capabilities in the immediate future.

• CHROs wanting to advance analytics as an organizational capability
