This title helps us in using analytics to make more effective
talent management decisions. Most managers understand that
employees can make or break a company''s strategy. You can have the
best ideas and the most promising plan, but if you don''t have the
right people to carry it out, that plan will fail. Still, despite
having this critical knowledge, most companies don''t have a
data-driven approach to the decisions they make about talent. In
fact, a recent IBM study that interviewed over 400 senior HR
executives showed that only 6 per cent of companies believe they
can effectively use human capital data to make strategic workforce
decisions. Enter "Calculating Success", the forthcoming book by
human capital experts Carl Hoffmann, Eric Lesser, and Tim Ringo.
Based on decades of experience creating human capital systems at
IBM, the authors show how using analytics can dramatically improve
a company''s ability to make better and faster talent decisions. By
organizing the book around four crucial questions managers must
ask, the book provides a framework to help executives rethink how
they use information on talent. The result? A path to using
analytics to make more effective talent management decisions. In
addition, the authors'' ideas help to link HR with all levels of the
organization in a strategic way, by showing readers how to connect
their version of analytics to the strategic mission of the larger
organization, so that the analytics flows throughout the
enterprise. With detailed examples and studies from IBM''s Institute
for Business Value and Human Capital Management practice, this book
will make you rethink the relationship of talent to business
success. The results allow for a more stable and cost-effective
workforce, an improved ability to motivate employees, and a more
systematic approach to developing critical talent.
