This session is designed to give participants the specific tools they need to solve the challenges they face in gathering and using information in its various forms by addressing four main questions WHAT ARE THE TRENDS IN INFORMATION Components of todayrsquos information age Alternative typologies for thinking about information in more

accessing interpreting and leveraging information What are the keys to using information effectively What are alternative governance structures for optimal

This session is designed to give participants the specific tools they need to solve the challenges they face in gathering and using information in its various forms by addressing four main questions WHAT ARE THE TRENDS IN INFORMATION Components of todayrsquos information age Alternative typologies for thinking about information in more
powerful ways How can firms balance technological and social approaches to
accessing interpreting and leveraging information What are the keys to using information effectively What are alternative governance structures for optimal
information management HOW CAN INFORMATION INFORM HR ANALYTICS

In this information age when a company has more information than another (information asymmetry) this information dramatically affects how organizations govern through HR practices how managers make decisions and how organizations compete Today volumes of information are readily accessible real time and customized And we are only at the front end of the information explosion with its substantial threats and opportunities Information becomes the antecedent to better decisions that help HR professionals deliver more value Many have talked about components of information through discussions of technology cloud data predictive analytics or scorecards But often these parts of the information puzzle do not inform decision making for HR practices management actions and organization competitiveness Based on more than 25 years of research from the worldrsquos largest global study on HR competencies (RBL) it has been identified that building and leveraging business information insights is generally not done well by HR professionals but in the few cases where it is done it has greater impact on business performance than any other HR agenda
This session is designed to give participants the specific tools they need to solve the challenges they face in gathering and using information in its various forms by addressing four main questions WHAT ARE THE TRENDS IN INFORMATION Components of todayrsquos information age Alternative typologies for thinking about information in more
powerful ways How can firms balance technological and social approaches to
accessing interpreting and leveraging information What are the keys to using information effectively What are alternative governance structures for optimal
information management HOW CAN INFORMATION INFORM HR ANALYTICS
HR practices can be improved through information by shifting from a focus on data to decision making around key HR outcomes of talent leadership and culture
HOW CAN INFORMATION IMPROVE MANAGERIAL DECISION-MAKING
How HR professionals can help managers improve making the following decisions through information Review 6 steps to manage the flow of information Identify market information Import market information into the firm Prioritize key information Disseminate information throughout the organization Leverage information for decision making Create alignment of external and internal brand
HOW CAN INFORMATION BE USED TO CREATE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
