Post-Modern HR: Blending Analytics and Artisan Skills for HR's Future

Turning workforce data into sustainable value

In this keynote, HR and data leaders will see how to translate advanced people analytics into strategies that yield measurable results. Rather than focusing on abstract metrics, the session demonstrates how analytics can tackle real workforce problems – from minimising high turnover to improving engagement and retention. Attendees will explore frameworks for linking analytics programmes with broader business goals, applying machine learning responsibly, and building trust through transparent insights. With proven examples and forward-looking practices, this session equips participants with the confidence and knowledge to take people analytics from theory to full-scale implementation, generating value for both employees and the bottom line.

This session will explore
  • Selecting high-impact analytics projects that address urgent workforce challenges
  • Managing data quality and integration to ensure robust results
  • Applying machine learning responsibly to predict and prevent talent risks
  • Building executive-ready narratives and dashboards that secure leadership buy-in
  • Demonstrating ROI from analytics initiatives through cost savings or revenue gains
  • Balancing innovation with ethical considerations and employee trust.
Learning outcomes
  • Learn frameworks for identifying the most valuable analytics use cases

HR and People Analytics teams have spent years building credibility through technology, data, and rigorous analysis. But just as Modernism gave way to Post-modernism, our discipline is on the verge of evolving again.
