The technology that makes this possible is a slew of new big data frameworks – processing and storage frameworks. In the last 5-10 years, it has become much cheaper, easier, and faster to look at data in disparate places, and turn it into insight.
As technology advances, leaders are acknowledging its power. A study by PwC this year surveyed CEOs about their views on technology. 86% of CEOs expect tech to transform business over the next 5 years. 39% of that same group of CEOs believe that HR is well-prepared. Why?
A lot of HR departments are not technologically sophisticated or even resistant to technology and don’t understand the rapid pace of change in technology. So, what’s the big change now? Big data is transforming the way organizations are going to work and will help you get ahead of everyone else. It’s what is next in leveraging technology to help HR make more-informed talent decisions to drive business value.
Talking Points:
One of the biggest challenges many companies face today is the aging workforce.
It is estimated that 80 million baby boomers will retire over the next 5-7 years
That means succession planning, mentoring, training, and even recruiting is more important than ever.
Commentary:
The human population is getting older. Fertility is falling, and the world’s population is graying dramatically. While aging has been evident in developed economies for some time—Japan and Russia have seen their populations decline over the past few years—the demographic deficit is now spreading to China and soon will reach Latin America. For the first time in human history, aging could mean that the planet’s population will plateau in most of the world. Thirty years ago, only a small share of the global population lived in the few countries with fertility rates substantially below those needed to replace each generation—2.1 children per woman. But by 2013, about 60 percent of the world’s population lived in countries with fertility rates below the replacement rate. This is a sea change. The European Commission expects that by 2060, Germany’s population will shrink by one-fifth, and the number of people of working age will fall from 54 million in 2010 to 36 million in 2060, a level that is forecast to be less than France’s. China’s labor force peaked in 2012, due to income-driven demographic trends. In Thailand, the fertility rate has fallen from 5 in the 1970s to 1.4 today. A smaller workforce will place a greater onus on productivity for driving growth and may cause us to rethink the economy’s potential. Caring for large numbers of elderly people will put severe pressure on government finances.

Talking Points:
Who – Today we have 4 (or some say 5) generations in the workforce forcing us to rethink our organization structures and models
What – Roles are changing within organizations; Jobs lost in the recession have either been eliminate or redefined to meet the new needs of the organization; Job expectation are also be redefined
Where – It’s a global, virtual world; we are no long constrained to our desk to get work done. Work/life balance is blurred and Work is adapting to employees not vice-versa
When – When we work is also changing. Flex-hours, shared jobs, work-life balance means greater emphasis is being placed on maximizing performance instead of logging hours.
How – Mobility, and more important the rise of mobile devices, combined with social networking has changed our work models. Employees are now leveraging multiple devices to get work done no matter where they are.

Talk Track Forthcoming – (Listen at Adam’s Convergence EMEA keynote)
1995: Process Centric
2005: Integrated - The need for shared information between HR processes drove the need for integrated talent management.
2015: : Data Driven - Organizations need deeper insights to solve for increasing skills gaps and talent shortages, developing future leaders, and improved employee engagement.
1. What is Big Data?
The basic idea behind the term “Big Data” is that everything we do is increasingly leaving a digital trace (or data), which we can use and analyze. It refers to our ability to make use of the ever-increasing volumes of data. – Bernard Marr, Advanced Performance Institute (UK).
• So big that it has implications for everyone• Transforms the way we do business and live our lives
Benefits are very real, truly remarkable, and only going to grow:
Better understand and target customers
Retailers: predict what products will sell
Telecom: predict if and when a customer might switch carriers
Optimise business processes
Retailers: optimise their stock levels
Supply chains: optimise delivery
Impact our lives
Enable us to find new cures
Better understand and predict disease
2. How does it work?
The datafication of our world gives us unprecedented amounts of data. The latest technology (cloud computing, distributed systems together with the latest software and analysis approaches) allow us to leverage data to gain insights and add value. (Barnard Marr)
First, we are collecting data on different actions in your Cornerstone products, as well as data that other clients have shared with us…
Data that is generated in your system
Data that you collect from your employees
And data that is shared by your fellow customers
We then analyze this data instantly to determine which of these data are related to the question you want to answer…
4 keys layers that data has passes through for actionable insight
Data sources layer – sources of data for your organization
Data storage layer – where your Big Data lives
Data processing/analysis layer – Analyzing the data to draw useful insights
Data output layer – Take action from insights to benefit from them
Define The Question.
Machine learning allows us to collect massive amounts of data, mine the data, and use evolving algorithms and statistics to uncover unique patterns and insights and make predictions based on these.
The key is asking the right business question. Then use the data to unlock business value.
Talk Track –
The general goal of analytics is to gain actionable insights that result in smarter decisions and better business outcomes.
There are 4 categories of data analytics:
Descriptive: Description of what has already happened (What happened?)
Diagnostic: Exploration of meaningful information (Why did it happen?)
Predictive: Prediction of future outcome based on historical data (What will happen?)
Ex: Credit scoring to predict likelihood of making future payments on time
Prescriptive: Recommendations based on predictive model output (What should I do?)
This is the most valuable type of analytics because it actually recommends the specific actions that could increase the likelihood of a particular outcome occurring based on available data.
One example of this: On newest version of Google Apps, they are now mining your calendar information for appointments you have coming up, scrubbing that against Google Maps traffic data as well as your own individual movement patterns you’re likely to take based on your history, and using that to automatically provide a prescriptive recommendation well before your next appointment occurs for what you should do to get there on time.
