Scale With Confidence — Operating People Analytics in the AI Era

Service model, AI evaluation, and benchmark targets you can ship in 90 days.
Thursday, October 16, 2025
Track
Plenary
  • Show a service catalogue leaders will use — with owners, SLAs and success metrics — so the function ships decisions, not dashboards.
  • Make AI safe and useful: run a Legal-ready evaluation loop and a Pilot→Production scorecard to govern quality, bias, cost-to-serve and rollback.
  • Anchor targets in credible benchmarks and prove value through three anonymised mini-cases, then leave with a 90-day field guide to start next week.
This session will explore
  • People Analytics service catalogue — 6–8 services with owners, SLAs and success metrics.
  • AI evaluation loop — data prerequisites, bias/safety tests, versioning and a Pilot→Production scorecard.
  • Three anonymised mini-cases — hiring speed, critical-skill risk, frontline stability — with guard-rails and outcome ranges.
  • Benchmarks to set credible targets — how to talk ranges and secure Finance buy-in.
  • Operate at scale — adoption telemetry, deprecation policy, and a 90-day field guide.
Learning objectives
  • Publish a clear service catalogue and align owners, SLAs and success metrics within two weeks.
  • Run an AI evaluation loop Legal will support, using the Pilot→Production scorecard to govern quality, bias and rollback.
  • Set benchmark-anchored targets for universal metrics that Finance accepts.
  • Instrument adoption, decide kill/pivot/scale, and send a monthly value note that links decisions to capacity, cost or risk.

Why this is on the agenda

  • Generative AI and new reporting regimes raise expectations for HR while exposing data, process and governance gaps.
  • Boards and Finance expect decision-grade services with audit trails, credible targets and measurable outcomes — not experiments. Leaders need repeatable ways to scale analytics safely without inflating cost-to-serve or compliance risk.
