BIG DATA!

• We’ve all heard of big data and that it is the next big thing in business

• Data Analytics is all about extracting information from large volumes of data and using the information to identify patterns and ‘find the story’.

• Many think of it as being an easy thing to put in place – the reality is that is hard to achieve, and can be complex and time consuming

• However, there is a role for using ‘data’ in Global Mobility and we will explore how you can adopt simple, effective ways of using data to deliver transparent information to Senior Management and to add value to your organization and that are available now

How can you use data to help the business with insights into Mobilityeffectiveness

The Global Mobility team for a major automotive company were producing numerous reports for the business that they felt were not adding value. The reports were long and took many hours to produce. There was a feeling that the reports were not being read and understood in the correct way.

1. Simplify – make the reports shorter and easier to understand

2. De-clutter – only including relevant information for that particular audience

3. Automate – alleviate the need for manual creation

4. Visualise – use a cleaner, more visual format to make the reports simpler to understand the data

Case Study

Identify your stakeholder’s goals

e.g. cost reduction, KPI’s, performance measurements, talent metrics, compliance

Utilise the Key Data Elements that inform the agenda

e.g. cost estimates, performance ratings, compliance gaps, technology systems (mobility systems, HRIS systems)

What measurements indicate useful information

e.g. downward/upward trends, pass internal Audit

Use Data Visualisation to provide Data Insight
