Unlocking the Power of AI: Driving Workforce Agility and Insights

With AI-powered workforce planning technology, organizations can break down silos, automate repetitive tasks, and update reporting based on real-time data.

In today’s rapid changing environment, organizations need to harness the power of data to drive actionable insights and adapt to the ever-evolving landscape. Data alone is not enough. Without proper analytics and data contexts, organizations face challenges turning data into business impact. The sheer volume of data can be overwhelming without the right tools and strategies to extract valuable insights. This is where the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and workforce strategies becomes crucial. By leveraging AI-powered analytics and workforce planning technologies, businesses can enhance their agility, make informed decisions, and create a culture of productivity and innovation.

In the latest CXO Spice, I had the pleasure of hosting Phil Willburn, VP of People Analytics at Workday, to delve into the intersection of AI and Workforce Strategies. Phil shared valuable insights on the four-phase evolution of workforce analytics and planning: Reporting, Research, Creating Skills and Creating Value.

Here are my key takeaways from our conversation:

• Agility and Insights (re crucial for fostering a productive workforce culture, where people see their contribution to growth through follow-through on initiatives.

• Workforce planning technology plays a significant role in enhancing productivity. It breaks down silos, automates repetitive tasks, updates financial and operating reporting based on real-time information, and identifies workflow inefficiencies.

• Workday provides a secure platform that enables people to plan, execute, and analyze efficiently. With real-time data for multi-dimensional analysis and tailored insights, information is no longer buried, empowering strategic planning and decision-making.

• Automation is not just a nice-to-have feature anymore, it has become a must have competitive advantage. Real-time insights gained through automation allow companies to make informed decisions promptly

Looking ahead, we have the opportunity to unlock new levels of AI (Agility & Insights) for employees and customers. From personalized training and development programs to real-time data insights that drive growth and innovation, the possibilities are endless. By streamlining workflows, breaking down silos, and automating repetitive tasks, employees can focus on more strategic work that truly creates value.
