Session Focus: Using analytics to forecast capability gaps, talent risks, and future learning needs.

Discover how leading talent teams use data-driven insights not just to react—but to get ahead.

This robust discussion explores how to leverage advanced analytics to proactively forecast critical talent needs—before they disrupt business continuity. We’ll dive into methods for identifying capability gaps, anticipating talent risks, and predicting learning requirements that align with strategic growth.

But forecasting alone isn’t enough.

Imagine trying to hire top talent while reducing recruitment costs—how do you know if you’re actually making progress?

That’s where HR KPIs come in.
