| Content | In this seminar, you will learn how to use people analytics to improve decision making in business. This year we focus on ways how organizations can attract, develop and retain female leaders. Currently, many organizations strive to increase women participation in leadership roles and experiment with different initiatives and approaches. Evidence helps to better decide what is effective and worth pursuing. People analytics generates relevant evidence by combining technical knowledge of analytics with a sound understanding of the people side of business. We will follow a problem-based-learning approach and combine input lectures, in-class discussions and practical project work. Assignments in groups will prepare you for your individual assignment. |
| Learning objectives | Upon successful completion of this seminar, you will know how to set up a people analytics project. Specifically, you will: (1) have expertise in this year’s focal area of promoting gender equality in business; (2) know how to create a business case for your project and address stakeholder interests; (3) be able to select useful methods form the methodological toolkit of people analytics (e.g., interviews, surveys, interventions and experiments); (4) be able to translate evidence into actionable and relevant recommendations. |
