These pics tell stories.

You know you’re just overwhelmed! 2015 year-end reporting and presentations that bring all of their accompanying stresses. And then getting up on top of your promontory to look at where your prospects are going, what your customers and stakeholders want and need and how to leverage on that huge and variable investment you continue to make in human assets. Fun?

What we offer here as actionable visual models and tools are focused on H R and the roles of big data in human asset management ranging from recruitment and productivity to retention and replacement costs. Here’s a thought…grind through want you think you need to lead from a position of strong business intelligence and simultaneously be willing to experiment with your data and try some new things to get insights you might miss.

We start by borrowing an Infographic on the Four Vs of Big Data. This is a good encapsulation. Perhaps you put it on your launch page so you see it daily. IBM is the source.

And then on to a simpler, but very powerful step chart of where H R is any particular days of the week in any one of an array of organizations. And please make the connection that you could just as easily change the H R Analytics Maturity Model to the Corporate Business Intelligence Maturity Model.

Planning analytics in 2016 is a really big deal. And don’t forget the security perspective.
