"Workforce Analytics is a capability whose time has come. For too long, Analytics was “Reporting in disguise”. Now analytics generates real insights, tells us something we don’t know and offers the promise of powerful predictions. To reap this potential, we need to be able to ask the right questions, understand what to expect from Analytics colleagues and focus on insights that meaningfully impact strategic talent and business outcomes - it’s possible! Written to appeal to both academics and practitioners alike, this book reaches back to original insights in “The Differentiated Workforce” about the strategic value of critical roles and strategic work. It points the way forward to using Workforce Analytics as a potential game-changing capability that - when done right - can build real competitive advantage. It’s an exciting proposition!"
