FOUNDATIONS OF ANALYTICS SUCCESS
9:30 AM FOCUS Get Clear On Your Ultimate Goal – Creating Business ValueIn people analytics, focus is everything – focus on the most relevant data, the most essential tools, the most useful metrics, and above all on the most pressing business questions. Every analytics project should start with the question: what business problem are we trying to solve? For example, there’s no point in doing interesting analytics on retention rates if retention isn’t a key problem for your organization. In this session, you’ll learn: · How to identify the problems business leaders care about · The importance of scoring “quick wins” · How to avoid getting sidetracked by “interesting” (but irrelevant) data
Main Conference Day One Thursday, February 28, 2019
11:15 AM STAKEHOLDER MANAGEMENT Managing Key Relationships To Keep Your Analytics On TrackHow you manage important relationships can make or break your analytics efforts and no relationships are more important than those with your stakeholders — the people who affect, or are affected by your analytics work. Whether you answer to them or depend on their cooperation, or both, you need to take account of their often conflicting interests, and keep them in the loop and on board. In this session, learn about: · Types of stakeholders · Tailoring communications · Balancing competing perspectives and expectations
12:00 PM Creating A Data-Driven Culture To Support Impactful AnalyticsPeople analytics is a multidisciplinary, collaborative endeavor. To succeed, it requires buy-in and support from across an organization. However, analytics efforts are too often undermined by resistance or indifference, whether due to skepticism, a lack of data-literacy, or a simple attachment to the old ways of doing things. Only when an organization embraces a data-driven approach to doing business will analytics initiatives fulfill their potential to improve decision-making and enhance business outcomes. In this session, learn how to gradually adopt such a cultural shift and transition from data-skeptical to data-driven. · Encourage senior leaders to continuously communicate the importance of data · Communicate benefits and celebrate analytics successes · Boost data-literacy with tailored trainingsPanelists include:Stephen Chesley, Sr. Workforce Planning Specialist, NASAJeremy Urban, Director, People Analytics, TaboolaRachel R. Duarte, Director HR Insights & Analytics, Thermo Fisher Scientific

3:15 PM Afternoon Break
TRACK A: MASTERING THE FUNDAMENTALS TRACK B: NEXT-LEVEL ANALYTICS
1:45 PM Building A Top-Notch Analytics Team: A Step-By-Step GuideNo factor is more predictive of analytics success than the quality of your analytics team. The question is: who do you need in that team and where do you find them? In this session, learn how to approach this foundational task in a methodical, deliberate fashion to ensure you combine the right blend of skills and roles – some highly technical, others not -- required in a highly effective team. Hear what you need to consider, including: · Essential skills and competencies · In-house vs. outside talent · Tradeoffs when resources are limitedRachel R. Duarte, Director, HR Insights & Analytics, Thermo Fisher Scientific
Harnessing New And Emerging Data Sources For Richer InsightsSome of the most effective analytics programs draw on data from a variety of sources and in a range of formats. Organizations that master the integration of data, structured and unstructured, from HR, operations, and finance with external data will gain deeper workforce insights and enjoy a competitive advantage. In this session, you’ll find out: · What it takes to harness and integrate external data from social media
platforms and other external sources · Why data volunteered by individuals on social networking sites is often
far more comprehensive and accurate than the data within corporate HR systems
· How to select the most relevant sources of external data for your projectRichard Rosenow, Workforce Planning Analyst, People Analytics, Facebook
2:30 PM Matching Tools And Technologies To Your Needs And Goals In addition to the right skills, you need the right mix of technologies to underpin and power your analytics initiatives. The range of options available can be overwhelming, but they don’t need to be. This session will cut through the clutter of tools and terminology and discuss the basic set of decisions you’ll need to make around technology, including: · What do you have and what do you need? · Cloud vs. On-premise · Own, Share, or Subscribe?
Increase The Scale And Power Of Analytics Through Intelligent AutomationMachine learning and artificial intelligence have already begun to change the way organizations work, promising huge gains in productivity and predictive power, and the pace of change will only accelerate. However, it can be hard to figure out what’s hype and what’s real. In this session, we’ll look at how HR is getting value out of AI and machine learning today. Find out: · How AI and machine learning can turbo-charge your analytics efforts · Why no amount of AI will eliminate the need for human insight · What mature organizations are already achievingSteve Hall, Sr. Director - Talent Management Analytics and Solutions, Marriott International
3:45 PM Get a Handle on Your Data to Effectively Start Your Analytics JourneyAccording to Deloitte’s Human Capital Trends report, 71 percent of companies see people analytics as a high priority in their organizations, with 31 percent rating it very important. But only 8 percent even have clean, reliable, complete, consistent – in a word, usable – data to analyze! Find out how you can jump start your analytics journey by getting your data under control. Our speaker offers a step-by-step guide to: · Identifying the data that’s relevant to your project -- and ignoring the rest · Working with the data you have rather than seeking data perfection · Integrating fragmented data for more powerful analytics and deeper insights
Future-Proof Your Organization Through Data-Driven Workforce PlanningIn an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world, companies must stay on their toes to stay ahead of the competition. HR is challenged to play its part by ensuring that tomorrow’s workforce aligns as much as possible with tomorrow’s needs, but how can HR predict an inherently unpredictable future? For a growing number of companies, the answer is strategic workforce planning powered by predictive analytics. In this session, hear how one company uses data to prepare for tomorrow today. · Identify strengths and gaps in the current workforce and talent pipeline · Determine future needs in terms of size, structure, type of talent, experience,
and skills · Account for a variety of future scenarios through “what-if” planningStephen Chesley, Sr. Workforce Planning Specialist, NASABrandon Curry, Director, Workforce Planning & Analytics, BNSF Railway
4:30 PM Secure Executive Buy-In to Support the Value of Your Analytics FunctionA recent KPMG survey of data professionals found that 49 percent believe their C-level executives don’t fully support their organization’s data and analytics strategies. This is a serious challenge, because as we all know, your analytics efforts are unlikely to get off the ground without executive support. However, there are proven strategies for gaining and maintaining C-Suite buy-in, and in this session you’ll hear about the best ones and how to use them to support your analytics function. You will learn how to: · Master effective visualization and storytelling for communicating the value of
analytics · Identify low-hanging fruit and score quick wins to generate momentum · Tailor your “pitch” to your Panelists include:Kevin Zhan, Director, Workforce Analytics and Reporting, Allergan
Tap The Power Of Relationships With Organizational Network AnalysisOne of the hottest trends in People Analytics is the increasing adoption of Organizational Network Analysis. ONA promises to yield insights into the way information flows through an organization and how networks of formal and informal relationships among employees contribute to (or impede) the creation of business value. In this session, you’ll learn how ONA can help HR departments to: · Understand who your most pivotal employees are, whatever the org chart
says · Identify and unblock bottlenecks to the productive flow of information · Establish and maintain an effective ONA program in your organization
Main Conference Day One Thursday, February 28, 2019
8:45 AM DIVERSITY & INCLUSION PANEL DISCUSSION: How Analytics Can Help Foster A More Diverse, Dynamic WorkplaceWorkforce diversity – in terms of gender, race, ethnicity, cognitive styles, and more -- is increasingly seen as a business imperative, driven by evolving social values and research indicating that diversity and inclusion can drive increased productivity. However, despite this recognition, progress has been slow and faltering. In this session, hear how innovative companies are deploying data and analytics to support their D&I goals. · Identify gaps and blind spots in your D&I efforts · Guard against introducing new forms of bias · Measure your progress against peersPanelists include: Jamie Brown, Analyst, HR Business Systems, Elsevier
9:30 AM LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT MEASURING THE IMPACT OF L&DEveryone agrees that learning and development is important, but when it comes to measuring the effectiveness of training outcomes, most businesses are shooting in the dark. Analytics allows organizations to gauge how L&D impacts such measures as retention, performance, productivity, and engagement, and how effectively it supports business goals. In this session, you’ll find out how to: · Leverage analytics to measure learning outcomes and adjust L&D to meet changing business needs · Identify which programs directly correlate with employee success · Personalize training plans for maximum impact
Perla Sierra, Sr. Director Data Analytics Information Management, Assurant
10:45 AM PERFORMANCE USING PEOPLE ANALYTICS TO IDENTIFY AND DEVELOP FUTURE LEADERS In this session, an analytics leader explains how he and his team built a process that couples smart people data analysis with organic observations to support and develop leaders, which in turn has boosted employee engagement and strengthened teams.

11.30 AM ENGAGMENT & RETENTION Developing And Keeping Top Talent Through Retention AnalyticsLet’s say you’ve successfully secured the talent you want and need – congratulations! However, in the war for talent, you’ve only won the first battle. The next challenge you face is how to keep that talent. With turnover across the board at an all-time high, companies need to put at least as much focus on retaining good performers as on hiring them. In this session, our speaker will discuss the ways in which their brand has leveraged data to cultivate and retaining top talent and build future leaders. · Pinpoint the reasons people stay and what could drive them away · Understand what internal mobility paths lead to higher retention · Establish a healthy level of attrition and turnover for your organization
