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.
