In my last blog I wrote about why I’m going to IBM HR Summit #PowerUpHR, and provided an overview of the intriguing speakers and topics. But as I reviewed the agenda, there was one session that jumped out to me as a must-attend. It’s a panel discussion on Thursday, September 8 from 12:00 – 12:45pm. Here is how the session is described on the event’s website:
Title: Meet the Industry Experts: What’s on the Horizon for Workforce Analytics in 2017
As HR needs to increasingly defend their decisions with data, workforce analytics is getting more industry attention and business focus than ever before. So what does this mean for you as a HR professional and your business going into 2017? How is workforce analytics going to evolve further across various aspects of HR, from recruitment, and engagement to talent retention?
Ben Eubanks hosts the panel discussion “What’s on the Horizon for Workforce Analytics in 2017” with Dr Michael “Woody” Woodward, David Green and Jennifer McClure.
Yes, the topic is of great interest and importance to business leaders but the panel participants are what caught my eye:
Panel Moderator:
Ben Eubanks, Principal Analyst at Lighthouse Research and founder/co-founder of upstartHR and HRevolution
Panellists:
David Green, Global Director, People Analytics Solutions at IBM
Dr Michael “Woody” Woodward, Executive Coach & Author of The YOU Plan at Human Capital Integrated
Jennifer McClure, Founder and President at Unbridled Talent
All are experienced, credible thought leaders in our industry, so there’s no doubt this session will be informative and entertaining.
First, there is Dr Michael “Woody” Woodward, Executive Coach & Author of The YOU Plan at Human Capital Integrated. His website provides an excellent overview of his experience. And here is a video clip from an appearance he made on the TODAY Show:
For the other participants I used HRmarketer Insight Software to generate a snapshot of each individual. The snapshot shows a word-cloud of their expertise, an insight into who engages with them on social (lots of influencers) and some of the events they’ve been invited to and participated in during the last year. Clearly, they are sought after individuals (with a lot of frequent flyer miles).
See the details below. And I hope to see you at the event next week.
