Course Overview

People decide what HR big data analytics really means by watching who gets promoted. Most disputes about data analytics begin as a conversation that was handled badly. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from this area of people management and development, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. It treats HR big data analytics as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Organisations that document the wider people management and development agenda properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. It is designed for mixed groups, so that data analytics is examined from more than one functional angle. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on HR big data analytics and revise it on evidence. Buying a tool rarely fixes data analytics; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The final module sets out how progress on this aspect of people management and development will be evidenced six months later.
