More than ever, data drives decisions in organizations--and we have more data, and more ways to analyze it, than ever. Yet strategic initiatives continue to fail as often as they did when computers ran on punch cards. Economist and research scientist Alec Levenson says we need a new approach. The problem, Levenson says, is that the business people who devise the strategies and the human resources people who get employees to implement them use completely different analytics. Business analytics can determine if operational priorities aren't being achieved but can't explain why. HR analytics reveal potentially helpful policy and process improvements but can't identify which would have the greatest strategic impact. This book shows how to use an integrated approach to bring these two pieces together. Levenson presents a thorough and realistic treatment of the reasons for and challenges of taking an integrated approach. He provides details on the different parts of both enterprise and human capital analytics that have to be conducted for integration to be successful and includes specific questions to ask, along with examples of applying integrated analytics to address particular organizational challenges. Effective analytics is a team sport. Levenson's approach allows you to get the deepest insights by bringing people together from both the business and HR perspectives to assess what's going on and determine the right solution.…

Review
--Jeff Joerres, Executive Chairman, ManpowerGroup
Levenson breaks analysis down into a step by step process - showing how to capture data and truly implement analytics in organizations, creating capabilities that drive strategy execution and, ultimately, competitive advantage. A must-read for H.R. professionals who want to build strategic partnerships and drive game changing results.
--Michael Johnson, Chief Human Resources Officer, UPS
Informed business and HR leaders know how important it is to connect business and talent outcomes. They appreciate the need for art and science, but rarely have the methodology or tools to make the science real. Strategic Analytics helps solve this problem, providing insight on applying big data and analytics to unlock value for leaders and for organizations.
--Scott Pitasky, Executive Vice President and Chief Partner Resource Officer, Starbucks
In this fascinating book, Dr. Levenson shows how leaders can make fast and accurate decisions in a world that is ever more complex, addressing the half-truths and unsubstantiated claims that abound in many corporations. A must read for anyone determined to improve their decision making.
--Lynda Gratton, Professor of Management Practice, London Business School
Strategic Analytics addresses one of the key complaints about HR today - that the function is not aligned with driving the business strategy. Levenson gives a step-by-step approach for leveraging analytics to identify the right levers to drive business strategy and organizational effectiveness. The book is both comprehensive and pragmatic, with thoughtful examples to help HR and business leaders alike.
--Tracy Faber, Senior Vice President, Human Resources, McKesson
Strategic Analytics starts in the right place - winning in the marketplace - and assesses integrated solutions that will outlast individuals. A wonderful book of useful frameworks and tools.
--Dave Ulrich, Rensis Likert Professor of Business Administration, University of Michigan, and partner, The RBL Group
A real breakthrough. Strategic Analytics is a must read for line and human resource executives who strive to make their organization and human resource system a source of strategic advantage. The systemic framework for rigorous diagnosis of organization alignment problems will help executives avoid simple but wrong responses that undermine effective strategy execution.
--Michael Beer, Professor Emeritus, Harvard Business School, and Co-founder TruePoint
Levenson offers a highly useful framework for sharpening the focus of data analytics within large, complex organizations. This book cuts through much of the hype surrounding the topic with a pragmatic review of methods that will generate actionable insights within an enterprise. Strategic Analytics should redirect efforts commonly seen today that often generate large quantities of data without really impacting business results.
--Alan May, Executive Vice President, Human Resources, Hewlett Packard Enterprise
Do you ever feel like you have all the data in the world but still don't know how to use it or you're not sure which analytics to use? So many practitioners don't solve their organizational issues because analytics without strategy are useless, or their strategies aren't aligned organizationally so the analytics don't matter. In this essential book, Levenson provides meaningful, actionabl --Jac Fitz-enz, CEO Human Capital Source
