Data & Analytics Fundamentals for Talent Development Workshop

This special event is your opportunity to boost your data skills!

Business leaders increasingly expect data-backed insights from their HR functions. Because data & analytics is the weakest capability area in our profession, developing these skills can quickly build your credibility, help you uncover business insights, and enhance your consultation with business partners to drive performance!

This interactive workshop is designed to jump-start your people data journey. Participants will assess their department's analytics maturity, practice defining metrics for talent-related topics, generate ideas to leverage existing data sources, and uncover quick wins to level up your data work.

This three hour intensive workshop is designed for:

• Talent development, OD, and HR leaders who are eager to help their organizations start their people analytics journey
• Practitioners who want to connect their work to real business impacts
• Internal or external consultants who need to guide stakeholders in defining data-based business outcomes

If you get stumped when explaining the ROI for a people initiative, or you don't know how to move beyond reporting "butts in seats" metrics for your learning function, this workshop is for you!

No prior experience with data-driven analysis or business intelligence tools is needed. This workshop may be too basic for people who regularly work with BI tools or use predictive analytics to inform decisions.

This will be a tool-agnostic workshop. We will practice skills that can be used with any BI platform (or with just a spreadsheet!).
