Overview:

In a parody of the song what world needs now is love, some in business believe that the road forward for business is more data. Dr. Mikel Harry tells us that we don’t value what we don’t measure. As a result in some cases, we are drowning in data which may end up on some shelf somewhere. Whether it is AI or some configuration of the results of our operations we are drowning in numbers.

The human capital management space is not immune to this dilemma. Wayne Cascio and Jac Fitz-Enz talk to us about measuring the performance of HCM in terms of ROI. The fast-changing VUCA world we live in requires us to develop metrics for everything.

The bottom-line question however are we looking at the right focus. Are we concerned with when over why? This webinar will answer that question - what is more important – when something is going to happen or why? Does that suggest that Big Data is not the answer for everything in our organizations?
