Competing With Data & Analytics
In May 2015, co-authors Sam Ransbotham, David Kiron and Pamela Kirk Prentice presented the findings from MIT SMR‘s recent global data and analytics study, “The Talent Dividend,” in collaboration with SAS. The study found that the integration of analytics talent into the organization is key to analytics success. The webinar speakers discussed the components of a human resources plan for analytics talent, and gave guidance on how to implement that plan in your organization.
In this webinar, the speakers discuss when and how to seek analytics talent internally, why a focus on talent integration — not infusion — is so important, the merits of a buddy system and how to build an ability to consume analytical insights across the entire organization. They also provide a glimpse into other report findings, including how companies with a strong and visible commitment to analytics find it easier to recruit and retain the best analytics talent.
