Key Points

There is data in everything.
It’s not just about customer data, it can be used internally to improve the organization.
HR professionals should try to be more in tune with the C-Suite and the company’s big picture strategy.
A lot of organizations think they’re doing analytics but what they’re really doing is reporting.
The best way to do analysis is to start mapping information against each other.
Organizations often have enough data but they haven’t thought about ways to utilize it.
