Build, Buy or Blend – How to Initiate and Scale a People Analytics Program

As digital transformation continues to accelerate in the HR industry, it’s crucial to identify the quickest, easiest, and smartest ways to deliver people data, and analytics to automate repetitive tasks, make data-informed decisions and drive revenue for their business. Should you develop a custom solution using all your available resources? Or should you buy a suite of tools to quickly establish your own HR data platform? Building a solution in-house allows for complete customization but requires substantial time, resources, and expertise. Perhaps partnering with industry leaders in People Analytics to seamlessly integrate a customized analytics tool within your system is the best route. Or blending both approaches can provide a balanced solution but requires careful integration and management. Successfully navigating these options can lead to transformative insights, improved efficiency, and a competitive edge in managing human capital. Discover the approaches People Analytics leaders have taken that have shaped their pathway to People Analytics success.
