About the seminar

In order to bring the performance of people analytics up—and in line with the hype—organizations need to do more than analyze data on demographic attributes. Researchers need to focus not only on who people are but also who they know. The potential for social network analysis to identify “high potentials,” who has good ideas, who is influential, and what teams will get work done efficiently and effectively is well established based on decades of research.
