Syllabus

Throughout this eight-week online programme, you will learn practical approaches to set up your people analytics team and leverage data that already exists within your organisation, to solve strategic challenges at the workplace.

Module 1: Strategic Positioning - How do you set up a people analytics function?

In this module, you will understand how the People Analytics function enables leadership to inform, optimise, and align with strategic corporate objectives. Participants will learn how to foster the perception of People Analytics as an expert strategic function and decision enabling service, not as a reporting and compliance function. The module also helps you identify the skills, objectives, and resources required for People Analytics functions to achieve professional and functional maturity.

Module 2: Achieving Operational Excellence with Data - How do you organise and leverage what already exists within your organisation?

This module will help identify and manage key stakeholders. You will also develop a pragmatic approach to people analytics projects and find opportunities from data and vice versa. This module also helps recognise the key benefits of data warehouses.

Module 3: Root Cause Analysis and Project Tactics - How do you ensure you solve the right problem within the appropriate timeframe?

In this module, you will learn to create project management plans for people analytics, including effectively managing competing stakeholder interests. You will also explore counterintuitive hypotheses to guide the people analytics project in the right direction and break down symptoms of people-related challenges into their constituent parts.

Module 4: Designing Successful Experiments - How can you best achieve scientific rigour and quality within complex and dynamic
organisational settings?

You will have the opportunity to design people analytics experiments within an organisational context using accurate scientific vocabulary to describe research components and formulate hypotheses. You will also compare underlying measurement principles behind different experimental designs and draw conclusions from data analysis and communicate results accurately to senior management.

Module 5: Psychometrics - What role do latent traits have in governing workplace behaviour and how can psychological data augment
people analytics efforts?

In this module, you will assess the influence of latent psychological traits on workplace behaviour and define criteria against which to evaluate psychometric tests to effectively filter through available tools. You will also have the opportunity to present opportunities and limitations of psychometric data in strategic decision-making.

Module 6: Organisational Data Science 1 - How do you go from description to prediction and what do people analytics
projects involve in practice?

This module will help you translate an organisational problem into a data question, interpret corporate challenges into quantifiable terms through the use of stakeholder interviews and text analytics and you will also become fluent in statistical and data science terms on a high level, to effectively lead data scientists.

Module 7: Organisational Data Science 2 - How can you safely and consistently integrate data into your communication and
decision-making strategies?

In this module, you will have the chance to debate the differences between machine learning, artificial intelligence, and various predictive models, understand the process of moving from description to prediction to prescription and analyse prepared code and simulated organisational data, including internal news boards, managerial reviews, employee surveys, emails, and unstructured text data.

Module 8: Transforming the Workplace - What is your vision for the future of work and how can people analytics help you to
achieve positive change in individuals, organisations, and the society?

This module will help you to develop strategies for mitigating the diverse array of risks that arise when applying machine learning to organisational challenges. It will also help you define a personal vision of how people analytics technologies should follow the principles of ethical leadership, corporate social responsibility and values-oriented algorithm design and examine how people analytics can transform society and the workplace for the better.
