3 The Value of Big Data for Talent Development Information is the oil of the 21st century, and analytics is the combustion engine, Peter Sondergaard, Head of Global Research for Gartner, recently told a group of IT executives. Pursuing this strategically will create an unprecedented amount of information of enormous variety and complexity. This is leading to a change in data management strategies known as Big Data, said Sondergaard. From the world s largest retailers to the Best Corporate University in the world, organizations are using Big Data applications to help analyze and predict the behavioral trends that drive their success. Those companies that use Big Data applications to rapidly analyze large volumes of data as a continuum for process improvement are seeing real gains in productivity, sales, and revenue. With improved decision-making capabilities, they are able to reduce risks, costs, and cycle time. What about HR? Many experts agree that Big Data will change the way organizations manage their workforce; in particular, in how they recruit, retain, and develop top talent. Big Data Solutions from KnowledgeAdvisors can help you understand major talent questions like: What drives engagement and retention? What factors drive our high-performing talent? What gaps exist in our talent pool and how can we prevent them? How can we better attract and select the right kind of talent who are likely to succeed? How is our talent linked to customer satisfaction and retention? Big Data Solutions from KnowledgeAdvisors Data for data s sake is not valuable. As our Director of Research, Dr. John Mattox, puts it, data is valuable when it is connected to other data sets, analyzed and explored until it gives up its secrets. Those secrets hidden nuggets of information are critical for learning and talent management.
