Workshop
Building a Business Case for People Analytics
Leadership, Goals, Analytics, Business Partnership
A template for building a business case
Analytics aren’t enough – you need a strong link to the business and a compelling story that leads to action. Without a business case, there is no clear alignment between people analytics and their purpose within the organisation.
A business case helps to provide a link between the power of data to inform and the ways that it drives organisational success. Too often, People Analytics work goes unseen and the value and impact untold; an effective business case and story showcases the value of your work and initiatives.
This session will explore:
- Identifying the problem or opportunity
- Leveraging data and insights to support your efforts
- Showing the value and ROI of your efforts
- Gaining allies, stakeholders, buy-in and tracking success
- Telling the story and inspiring action
Key takeaways:
- Get hands on practice building an effective business case with People Analytics
- Gain tips and tricks to build support and show success with your projects
- Illustrate the connection between People Analytics and business value.
