In today’s digital age, many public sector organizations are struggling with predicting accurately what it will take to succeed in the future. The advent of big data analysis and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is viewed as the pathway to improve the ability to predict outcomes and to save costs. Many HR professionals are also intrigued by the possibility of applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help predict more accurately many elements related to people and organizational capacity such as who should be hired, how to best develop talent, and where to focus its attention to achieve new innovative ways to deliver HR value. As this HR transformation unfolds, HR will also be expected to demonstrate that the investment in the knowledge, skills, experiences and innovations of people in the organization are helping make the organization more productive and are delivering a return for the organization.

This highly thought provoking, engaging and practical workshop, based upon Dr. David Weiss’ book Leadership-Driven HR: Transforming HR to Deliver Value for the Business (Jossey-Bass) and his subsequent research, focuses on the following:

• Analyze how HR can leverage data to measure its Return on Investment (ROI) for the business
• Learn how to develop a dashboard to track leading and lagging measures to regularly report on the ROI in Human Capital
