Do you have a Predictive Workforce Playbook For Your Projects?

Today’s HR leaders are being pressured to investigate and use predictive analytics.

Yet, there is often little or no direction about how to begin and which challenges to target.

One area that is primed for using predictive analytics is the talent acquisition process.

Applied correctly, predictive analytics can add critical insight, beyond well-tuned intuition, to help avoid hiring mistakes leading to significant savings.

Join Greta Roberts, (LinkedIn profile) CEO of Talent Analytics, Corp., as she offers practical guidance for understanding what predictive analytics is, how to get started, and some areas to begin using these approaches in your own organization.

She’ll describe the importance of quick wins that help you build credibility and visibility for an ongoing analytics program.

You will learn:

  • Use cases for when (and when not) to use predictive analytics
  • Strategies for knowing what type of data might be useful
  • How to measure the success of an predictive analytics project
  • How to leverage quick wins for continued growth and development

From the world of manufacturing, to Agile, to DevOps, the concept of “Kaizen” has become foundational to linking the team mentality to the long-term quality of a team’s actual output.

Literally meaning “good change,” in Japanese, in a larger sense Kaizen is a term that has come to mean continuous improvement in the world of IT and software projects.

If you think stellar, delightful, compulsive quality is important for your success – and you’d better – then the concept of Kaizen is critical to how you teach your teams, how you lead your teams, and how you perform your work.

In recent years, the wide-open marketplace and a rising Agile mentality has made it obvious that cultural elements in the workplace are just as important as specific tools and processes.

Among these cultural elements, none is more important than a well-established dedication to Continuous Improvement.

Let Chris Knotts (LinkedIn profile) help you put practical lessons in place to begin putting your continuous improvement program today!
