Macro Trends that your People Data Strategy Must Embrace

Plenary
Presentation
Alec Levenson

Dr Alec Levenson will separate hype from substance surrounding macro trends such as hybrid working, wage inflation, and AI disruption, and address the foundational approaches People Analytics needs to embrace to deliver maximum value to the business.

 

The past three years have been a time of usual disruption for organisations and People Analytics. First, the Covid-19 pandemic upended many of the assumptions about organisational operating models and how flexible the workforce and leadership really are.

 

Then price and wage inflation came roaring back in ways that haven’t been seen for over four decades. And most recently, AI has exploded onto the scene, with promises and threats to disrupt work as we know it.

 

What should PA professionals do to ride the wave of these macro trends and disruption, rather than get swept out with the tide? In this session, Alec Levenson will separate hype from substance, and address the foundational approaches People Analytics needs to embrace to deliver maximum value to the business:

 

This session will explore:

  • The economics of labour markets, operating models, and strategy execution: setting compensation based on value created, not just the minimum that can be paid
  • Behavioural science, psychology and organisational development over data science
  • How the humans that work in PA can continue to add value while AI and machine learning automate more and more.
