    DESCRIPTION:

    Recent research (van De Heuvel & Bondarouk. 2017) indicates that despite the increased adoption of people analytics most people analytics projects fail. Despite the noted increase of people analytics programs since the call for increased people analytics programs in the Global Leadership Forecast 2014|2015 organizations continue to struggle with implementation of people analytics projects.Many organizations have reaped the benefits of people analytics (i.e. Google, Facebook, PepsiCo), the question for many organizations is what separates successful and unsuccessful people analytics projects? 

    The session will use a five-step approach that human resources professionals can use to avoid people analytics failures and a discussion of common problems in people analytics projects.  

    Some common problems we will discuss during the session include: 

    • Lack of leadership investment
    • Difficulty getting data from business units
    • An unclear problem to solve
    • A poorly designed intervention 

    PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:

    1. Identify when a people analytics solution is most appropriate
    2. Identify potential errors before beginning a people analytics project
    3. Design an appropriate people analytics intervention
