For how long has your work involved analytics, either directly or in project leadership?
I have worked with data and numbers for as long as I can remember, but about 10 years ago, I was approached to put data and value to HR activities for a number of Danish companies.
For how long have you worked in the HR domain?
I have advised HR and HR leaders for 10 years.
How well do you feel People Analytics is progressing?
I feel it is progressing as with most technological things; its impact is overestimated in the short term and underestimated in the long run. We are close to the point where it will positively surprise a lot of people.
What have been the greatest challenges that you've faced within People Analytics?
The greatest struggle is to find enough People data to help us answer the business problem we are trying to solve.
What are your predictions for 2018 and beyond? Where are things heading?
When the next economic downturn will come, it will be interesting to see if People Analytics is a 'nice to have' or a 'must have'. I hope for the latter but fear it might be the former.
