People Analytics and the Work That Matters with Cole Napper

What is the real purpose of people analytics, and how do we move from interesting insights to existential impact?

In this episode of the ScienceForWork podcast, host Matt Lampe talks with Cole Napper, a leader in people analytics, about what it takes to recenter analytics around value and relevance. They discuss how the field can reconnect to business impact, what it means to build existential value, and how data, AI, and labor-market intelligence are reshaping the way organizations make decisions.

Together, they examine what happens when evidence becomes action and action creates learning, reflecting the mission of ScienceForWork: bridging research and practice to #MakeWorkBetter.
