 Transform Data

Preparing and transforming data are very time consuming for skilled individuals along
with that data analysis and data mapping are very expensive and time consuming.

There are many firms like SAO, ORACLE, SAS, WORKDAY which launch their products such
as real -time analysis, text and sentimental analysis, predictive analysis etc. There are
new data aggregation and visualization tools in the markets. However, they cannot do
everything like coding, analysing, visualizing and interpreting all the disparate data. This
applies to all the applied HR projects and experimentation projects of an organisation.
It is suggested that the organization should perform meta-analysis.

Meta analysis helps us to understand the link or relation between the multiple
data.

It enables us to codify the disparate data to get the workforce insights.

The process can be simple or complex depending upon the kind of data gathered
and the competency of the researcher and the analyst and the time constraint.
Communicate Intelligence report
After transforming data step 6 is to
communicate the data as a story. Storytelling is
a powerful approach in communicating data
both in words and visually because it stimulates
emotions.
example: - data is - students who score 90% in
CAT, most probably they don’t join JAGSOM. We
can present this data as a story that the
students who score 90% in CAT they are from
western areas because there are lots of colleges
in western area and instead of coming so far
from their home they will prefer to study
nearby or their family income is less than 10
lakhs so they are not able to afford the fees or
they got better college because they scored
good %.
 Enable Strategy and decision making

Strategy is terms of plan, ploy, pattern and perspective.

Plan relates to leaders establishing overall direction for the organization.

Ploy strategy is outwitting the competitors

Pattern involves engaging in consistent actions to effectively implement the strategy.

Position means how a company differentiates itself from other competitorsStrategy reflects
an organizations culture and character.
A human resource strategy tends to focus on people policies, practices and processes with the
aligning overall business strategy in order to achieve the
organization’s goals and objectives.
