2 The Value of Measuring What gets measured gets done Peter Drucker But.two things generally happen to data: collected and not used in decisions Analysed but results often not applied

3 The Value of our Data To the naked eye, the gold mine is really a bowl of dirt whose value is yet to be realised.so is our HR data in its raw state and, in order to realise the real value of our data, a process of extraction is necessary

4 Mining the Gold Characteristics of Goldthat we may or may not know: Extremely valuable Sought after Everlasting no known substance that can destroy gold will remain unaffected until moved by the natural forces of earth or by man

5 Mining the Gold Predictive Aalytics Predictive Analytics: The process by which you can predict with confidence what will happen next so that you can make smarter decisions, solve problems and improve outcomes. IBM SPSS

6 Similarly, Getting off the HR Goldmine Mining the Gold NOTHING STRATEGIC WILL HAPPEN SIMPLY BECAUSE THE DATA EXISTS, NOR WILL THE REAL VALUE BE REALISED UNLESS WE EMPLOY STATISTICAL ANALYSIS TO IDENTIFY AND PREDICT TRENDS THROUGH FORECASTING

7 Like the Goldmine. Mining the Gold The HR Database is the most precious collection of data within the organisation that affects all strategic decisions: o Operational ofinancial ocustomer opeople

8 Mining the Data What is Data Mining: The process of analysing data from different perspectives and summarising it into useful information UCLA, California

9 Mining the Data through Analytics Why we should mine our data: o Increase revenue (affected by productivity, efficiency) o Manage costs ( improve efficiency) o Gain insight o Predict trends before they happen

10 Mining the Data Primary Organisational Concerns o Revenue (productivity, efficiency) o Cost Management(efficiency, profitability)

11 The BIG Question: Mining the Data If Productivity, Efficiency & Profitability are IMPACTED DIRECTLY by our people, why are we not surveying our people, or investigating, measuring, analysing and interpreting our HR data as a regular part of the process of creating Business Intelligence?

12 Mining the Data The real problem faced by HR leaders: Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted, counts. Albert Einstein Source

13 The Reality: Shrinking budgets + the need for employees to do more = an urgent need to remove the guesswork and make more informed and accurate strategic decisions
