Research Partners on Human Capital Analytics: Making Data-Driven Decisions

Invitation to join a Research Working Group


13 September, 2011 | (01 hr)

Making smart workforce decisions requires knowing how to make faster, data-driven decisions.

Member companies of The Conference Board have asked for help in analyzing their data as a catalyst to changing their human capital strategy, and thereby enhancing HR’s financial and non-financial contribution to the organization. There is a need for building a Human Capital Analytics framework through the examination of practices at best-in-class companies that are already applying analytics as part of their human capital strategy.

To provide this resource, The Conference Board will convene a Research Working Group on applications in Human Capital Analytics in October 2011.  The group will be guided by Dr. Rebecca Ray, along with Dr. Jac Fitz-Enz and Dr. Patti Philips, who are recognized as founders and legends in this field and will provide participating companies with a refined approach to implementing effective analysis in their firms.

Four specific organizational challenges will serve as the basis for examining the use of Human Capital Analytics in this Research Working Group:

  •     Employee Engagement
  •     Leadership Development
  •     Learning and Development
  •     Diversity and Inclusion


By bringing together executives from approximately 20 corporations, this Research Working Group will produce practical frameworks, templates, and tools for the application of Human Capital Analytics to these four human resources/human capital challenges.  The research results will include case studies of best-in-class organizations that are successfully integrating these applications.

Join this webcast to learn more about the methods and materials involved in this Research Working Group, as well as details of the participation fee and time commitment.

Audience:  This webcast will be of interest to executives responsible for Human Capital strategy, workforce analytics and strategic workforce planning who are exploring participation in the Research Working Group.

Why are some webcasts scheduled late at night/ early in the morning?

We broadcast live from our New York, Brussels, and Hong Kong studios. Depending on your time zone and the primary audience for the webcast, the live broadcast time could occur outside of normal business hours. If this is the case, please access the webcast On Demand at your convenience. Time zone abbreviations: ET (Eastern time - New York), CET (Central European Time), GMT (Greenwich Mean Time- London), HKT (Hong Kong Time Zone), IST (India Standard Time), CST (China Standard Time) To convert a time zone to your local time zone, please visit the time zone converter site

I can’t hear audio

Double check that your speakers are not muted. If you are using external speakers, be sure they are turned on and not muted. Also, be sure your speakers are turned all the way up.

I hear an echo

If you are listening via a telephone, please mute your computer speakers

I can’t see video (when applicable).

Do you have the bandwidth required to view the video presentation? A telltale sign of bandwidth issues would be "freezing" video during the webcast. We recommend closing any unnecessary programs on your computer to minimize buffering that can disturb your viewing experience

Why do I get a "connection failed" or "connection blocked" message?

In addition to having a properly installed Adobe Flash Player, your computer must permit rtmp (over port 1935) and / or rtmpt (over port 80) live streaming protocols. Corporate users behind proxy servers should be sure their network settings do not time out rtmpt requests or the player may freeze after a set period requiring a stream restart. Please contact your local IT Administrator if you are unsure of your settings.
