How do you drive sustainable change and help stakeholders adapt to the new data-driven environment? How do you partner with Finance in workforce planning and with IT in building a broad-based technology platform to democratize data and insights? How do you introduced and leverage AI applications? How do you keep your own skills current as you elevate HR’s analytics capability?
