HR Analytics Translator – Singapore

26-28 June 2024

Analytics Translator: “The new must-have role in organizations” (McKinsey, 2018)

In a 2018 publication in Harvard Business Review, McKinsey referred to the role of Analytics Translator as “the new must-have role” for organizations. Are you struggling with getting business value out of your HR data? Do you want to bridge the gap between the data and analytics experts on the one hand and business professionals and management on the other hand? Are you looking for a development program that immediately impacts the business and provides value to your employees or customers? In the Analytics Translator program, participants are trained in their role of analytics translator while developing a use-case for your organization from scratch on. This use-case is aimed at the organization’s strategic objectives and comprises a business case and implementation plan. Also, storytelling competencies are developed throughout the program, culminating in a (dry-run) presentation to the leadership. Since 2020 hundreds of professionals in over 20 countries across the globe have successfully participated in the program. Dozens of use-cases with immediate business impact have been developed. Are you ready to be next?
