AUDIENCE Q&A
How HR Analytics Drive the Agile Organization
Michael Bazigos Ph.D. Managing Director - Accenture StrategyBy one estimate, organizations that are truly agile – those that act with the greatest velocity & adaptiveness and with sufficient foundation to remain stable – are more than 4 times as likely to be in the top quartile of reported financial results in their industry as those with the lowest agility. It’s not surprising, therefore, that many organizations’ top executives are concerned. But the concept of agility remains only loosely defined, poorly measured, and rarely analyzed. This session will review diagnostic research from Accenture before centering on specific examples of how HR leaders can use data-driven insights to reshape the future workforce, from the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and other technologies that augment people’s capabilities to workforce planning, recruiting and leadership development. By boosting evidence-based decision making throughout the organization, HR can accelerate the journey from insight to action.
AUDIENCE Q&A
Keynote Presentation: The Power of Predictive Analytics
Peter Fasolo Ph.D. Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) - Johnson & JohnsonAt most major corporations, it is critical for the head of HR to be an extremely strong strategic and trustworthy adviser to the CEO, the Board of Directors, and senior management. That means not just filling the leadership positions with the current needs of the organization, but being able to look to the future in terms of the new capabilities that large companies will need to compete. In the following Keynote presentation, Johnson & Johnson’s CHRO will discuss the unique relationship between the CEO and CHRO and how that helps to drive a workforce of more than 130,000. Under the microscope: the use of predictive analytics to steer workforce decisions, and how J&J’s investment in data has translated into unprecedented levels of employee engagement and real business results.
