Workforce Intelligence Academy
Wednesday, August 31st - Friday, September 2nd, 2016 // Santa Cruz, CA

Come learn, explore, and create with leading practitioners in a beautiful, yet focused setting just south of Silicon Valley.  The 3-day intensive program is an education/consulting hybrid in that'll help you, your colleagues, as well as the sponsoring organization.  The goal will be to educate and inspire, as well as help advance your organizations capability.  Themes to be addressed include:

• Talent analytics
• Workforce planning
• HR metrics & reporting
• Fair Pay analysis
• Diversity analysis
• External talent market analysis
  
• Socio, economic, and technology trends
• Identifying and practicing appropriate analytic techniques
• Reviewing relevant vendors and emerging innovations
• Packaging and communicating data-based insights in impactful ways

If there are other topics of interest please let us know.  We'll share if they're already part of the program or if they can be incorporated. 

The WIA will be led by TSI's Founder & Executive Director, Al Adamsen.  Al is uniquely qualified to deliver the program as he's one of the few who's created an analytics capability within a Fortune 500 company (Gap Inc.), served as a leader at a prominent analytics vendor (Infohrm, now SAP/SuccessFactors), and has also advised some of the world's leading organizations (Disney, T-Mobile, Comcast, Mayo Clinic, Dignity Health, Heinz, Stanford University, among many others).  Al facilitates the Workforce Planning & Analytics Councils and is also a frequent writer and conference speaker.  He will again be facilitating a talent analytics session at this year's HR Technology Conference in Chicago.
