The Shift from Traditional Analytics to Productized Insights

Transitioning from traditional presentation formats like PowerPoints to productized insights can significantly enhance the impact of data analytics within organizations. Instead of merely producing impressive slides that gather dust, organizations can create actionable models that serve as tools for HR business partners. For instance, Philips developed about 200 predictive models focused on retention analysis, which helped HR teams understand future exit trends and identified key attributes leading to attrition. This approach not only fosters better engagement with HR teams but also introduces a level of governance around the insights, ensuring they are put into practice.
