Conference Summary

In the 2007 conference, “Human Capital Analytics – Driving Business Outcomes” we asked: “Are we, as HR professionals, focused on the business or the function of HR?” and “In the years ahead will we be able to look back with confidence knowing that we have made a positive impact on the success of the business?”

Our aim was to share the experiences of successful public and private sector HR and business leaders among an engaged and active community of conference delegates. Using case study examples our expert presenters shared their stories of how they met their information needs, created insight and delivered impact. The underlying message was the contribution of HR to organizational effectiveness – “Driving Business Outcomes”.
