This course is designed for HR Business Partners, COE specialists, and experienced HR professionals who want to influence enterprise decision-making through advanced analytics. It is ideal for those who already use analytics and generative AI for personal productivity and are ready to move to the next level of capability, moving from operational reporting to shaping strategy, forecasting outcomes, and quantifying HR’s impact on business performance.
You will learn how to apply advanced analytical and modelling techniques to connect workforce decisions directly to business results. The course deepens your understanding of financial and statistical fluency, scenario planning, and predictive modelling, helping you answer strategic questions such as “What will happen?” and “What should we do next?” You will also learn to integrate generative AI throughout your analytics workflow, from hypothesis generation to data storytelling, to accelerate insight creation and strengthen the quality of your recommendations.
Participants should already be proficient in using generative AI for personal productivity and familiar with core Excel-based analytics techniques such as dashboards, pivot tables, correlation, and trend analysis. This course builds on those capabilities to deliver advanced application and strategic integration. It is also a natural next step for those who have completed Korn Ferry Academy’s Talent Analytics for Decision Making course.
You will learn through an immersive, hands-on experience that combines guided modelling practice with strategic case discussions. Using advanced Excel and generative AI tools, you will explore complex workforce datasets, test hypotheses, and simulate business scenarios. The facilitator provides expert guidance throughout, helping participants expand their analytical thinking while ensuring each concept is clearly explained and applied. Peer discussions and real-world examples reinforce how to link analytics to enterprise priorities and communicate findings that resonate with senior leaders.
You will apply your learning through a capstone simulation where you model the ROI of a $1M workforce investment and design a data-driven business case. Using advanced analytics techniques and AI-assisted insights, you will quantify HR’s value, test different scenarios, and develop an executive-ready narrative that connects workforce strategy to measurable business outcomes. This exercise equips you with tools and frameworks that you can immediately apply to strategic workforce and talent decisions within your organisation.
Unlike foundational analytics courses that focus on descriptive or diagnostic analysis, this course advances participants into predictive and strategic application, equipping you to model, forecast, and influence business outcomes through data. It demonstrates how generative AI can act as a thought partner in shaping insight and strategy rather than simply automating tasks. Participants often describe the experience as rigorous, high-impact, and confidence-building, calling it the essential next step for HR professionals who want to drive enterprise value through analytics.
