Course Overview
Our organizations are swimming in challenges around talent and people, challenges that evolving data and analytics practices might help us manage. But despite the excitement around those tools, very little data is making its way into the hands of decision makers in the form of actionable insights. This course helps change that equation. It prepares you and your team to get better people data, find insights faster, and translate them into immediate and lasting business outcomes.

Field Manuals
People Analytics is made up of five Field Manuals (our version of an online module). Each one contains a variety of types of content and social exercises culminating in a mini-project, reflection, or debate. Each Field Manual will take you between 30-45 minutes to complete but you can jump on and off at your own pace, as often as you’d like. The deeper learning happens in the discussions with your fellow learners, so be sure to check in on the conversations regularly.

The Analytics Revolution
People analytics is poised to transform the way HR works. This Field Manual focuses on the past and future of people analytics as a tool and technique. It explores the opportunity people data represents and helps us take steps to leverage that opportunity in our daily work.
Creative Questions
Data and analytics can only create meaningful contributions when we clarify and expand on the questions we are trying to answer. This Field Manual looks at the qualities of a good question, the importance of continuous curiosity, and the steps we can take to cultivate and curate the questions we ask.
Meaningful Data
Many of us might feel that data-driven practices are outside of our wheelhouse. This Field Manual focuses on demystifying data, building data-literacy into our daily routines and habits, and exploring how we can collaborate with our colleagues to integrate data streams in more powerful ways across our organizations.
Insightful Analysis
While few of us are true data scientists, we all need to develop the ability to pull high-level insights and patterns from the information we tap into. This Field Manual focuses on cultivating those fundamental analytics skills, and on knowing how to test our conclusions.
Persuasive Communication
Getting a handle on the data, and our insights into it, is just half the battle. This Field Manual explores how we frame the data for others, from the stories we tell with and about it, to the techniques we use to translate it into reports, presentations, and visuals.
