1
You can't create a data-
driven culture overnight.
Changing company culture requires time
and patience to change mindsets with
new ways of working.
As the C-Suite models the example and
requires their people to "show your
data," they will understand the benefits
of reliance on data for decisions.

People analytics is a journey.
2
An iterative practice where one analysis
generates new ideas for exploration, resulting
in new insights, and ultimately, new value.
It matures over time as your technology and
expertise improve.
It may also inform your organizational planning
and analysis, becoming a step on the road to
business optimization.

The bottom line marks the top of the CEO’s
agenda, so people analytics must justify the
investment by contributing to profitability.
HR must integrate financial and people data to
analyze the workforce’s contribution to
business outcomes. HR and Finance intersect
to move the organization forward.
Poor collaboration between HR
and Finance stifles progress.

Context is everything.
Context emerges when you compare
trends and patterns over time, and
consider other relationships or variables.
Trends matter more than static data
because nothing happens in a vacuum.

Analysis must lead to actionable
insights.
5
Analytics to satisfy a curiosity or for
information's sake does not drive business
results.
The purpose of data gathering and analysis is to
arrive at actionable insights, meaning they lead
to decisions that improve business outcomes.
The true value of people analytics lies here.
