Today’s human resource leaders and people managers are being called upon to make decisions that enhance both people and business outcomes. Most HR leaders do not have access to employee data as well as the analytical tools that help to derive insights, and optimise and align decisions with strategic corporate objectives. This programme will enable you to develop a cutting-edge people analytics function in your organisation. It will also equip you with practical and analytical techniques, and data-driven insights that will guide you to future-proof your business.
The programme is focused on helping HR leaders leverage people analytics to achieve positive change across individual, organisational and societal levels, and chart a vision for the future. The programme is ideal for:
Learnings from this programme are applicable across most major industries, including financial services, utilities, real estate, telecom, consulting and other professional services, government as well as labour unions and other professional bodies.
Throughout this eight-week online programme, you will learn practical approaches to set up your people analytics team and leverage data that already exists within your organisation, to solve strategic challenges at the workplace.
Learn how to foster the perception of People Analytics as an expert strategic function and decision-enabling service, not as a reporting and compliance function. Identify the skills, objectives and resources required for people analytics functions to achieve professional and functional maturity.
Identify and manage key stakeholders in your organization and develop a pragmatic approach to people analytics projects as you find opportunities from data and vice versa. Discover the key benefits of data warehouses.
Learn to create project management plans for people analytics, including effectively managing competing stakeholder interests. Explore counterintuitive hypotheses to guide your people analytics project in the right direction and break down symptoms of people-related challenges into their constituent parts.
Get hands-on experience designing people analytics experiments within an organisational context using accurate scientific vocabulary to describe research components and formulate hypotheses. Compare underlying measurement principles behind different experimental designs, draw conclusions from data analysis and communicate results accurately to senior management.
Assess the influence of latent psychological traits on workplace behaviour and define criteria against which to evaluate psychometric tests to effectively filter through available tools. Present your findings regarding opportunities and limitations of psychometric data in strategic decision-making.
Translate an organisational problem into a data question and interpret corporate challenges into quantifiable terms through the use of stakeholder interviews and text analytics. Become fluent in statistical and data science terms on a high level to effectively lead data scientists.
Debate the differences between machine learning, artificial intelligence and various predictive models. Understand the process of moving from description to prediction to prescription, and analyse prepared code and simulated organisational data, including internal news boards, managerial reviews, employee surveys, emails and unstructured text data.
Develop strategies for mitigating the diverse array of risks that arise when applying machine learning to organisational challenges. Define a personal vision for how people analytics technologies should follow the principles of ethical leadership, corporate social responsibility and values-oriented algorithm design, and examine how people analytics can transform society and the workplace for the better.

Download BrochureThe programme includes a mix of live and recorded sessions with faculty and guest speakers, application exercises, interactive discussion groups and proprietary tools such as the discussion groups and psychometric instruments. We expect participants to dedicate 4–6 hours per week over the eight weeks of the programme.
Learn what it takes in practice to set up a people analytics function and how to best position it within your organisation; refine the ways in which you collect, analyse and maintain organisational databases; and equip your function with the necessary techniques to tackle the most salient challenges.
Apply scientific research methodologies to enhance information quality and experiment with confidence in complex and dynamic organisational settings.
Explore how prediction models are designed and how they operate to enable more accurate forecasting. This will inspire you to shape the future through accountable and data-driven leadership.
Learn the language of data science to better manage analysts working with people data. Integrate psychological theory with strategic imperatives to significantly improve project outcomes.
Create a workbook that includes reflection, discussion and consolidation of each week's learning along with practical guidance and support in implementing people analytics in practice.
