Each year, the design and facilitation team enhance the content of the CEB HR Leadership Academys curriculum to ensure its resonance with HR participants in the classroom and CEB researchs global best practices.
CEB HR Leadership Academy was designed in 2007 to develop the critical business, analytical, and leadership skills required to operate as a strategic partner to their internal stakeholders. To date, more than 5,000 HR Business Partners from more than 785 organizations across the globe have graduated from CEB HR Leadership Academy. With only 25% lecture, CEB HR Leadership Academy relies on peer group discussions, interactive activities, case studies, presentations, and individual work to teach and embed these skills.
APPENDIX A: CEB HR LEADERSHIP ACADEMY IS ENHANCING THE DATA ANALYTICS MODULE TO ADDRESS SKILL GAPS
New Data Analytics Module
Using Statistics to Enhance Decision Making In This Module, Participants Will Learn How To:
Application of Business Judgment to Data In This Module, Participants Will Learn How To:
Develop and use metrics to make the business case for HR programs; Develop and use metrics to align HR strategy with corporate goals; and Work with line managers to determine what metrics would be most valuable to driving their business decisions.
Work with the line to identify critical human capital questions that impact their ability to make decisions; Use both talent and business data to provide HRbusiness insights to the business; Support analytics staff with metrics prioritization and methodology selection based on business needs; and Understand methodology used for data analysis and communicate the rationale to the line.
As using data to make informed decisions is a cross-functional topic of interest, we are not only creating this content for an HRBP audience but also for Finance and Recruiting as well. CEB will pilot virtual delivery with this module as well, making it the first virtual module available to participants.

We used multivariate linear regression to determine the impact of a variety of drivers on Analytic Impact.
Step 1: Collect information on talent and HR performance from senior HR leaders. Examples:
Step 2: Survey senior HR leaders on the goals of talent analytics activities at their organization. Examples:
Step 3: Survey heads of analytics functions and/or analytics leaders on analytics activities and organizational structure. Examples:
Satisfaction with talent outcomes, such as employee performance, employee engagement, retention, quality of hire, and strength of leadership bench Near-term and short-term goals of the HR function
Investments in analytics Role of the CHRO in talent analytics Short-term and long-term goals of talent analytics
Organizational structure of those who conduct talent analytics Analytics activities Metrics tracked and reported Sophistication of analysis Vendor use and satisfaction
Step 4: Use cluster analysis, factor analysis and multivariate linear regression to design an index of talent analytics performance.
Step 5: Calculate a weighted average of variables that drive Analytic Impact and use multivariate linear regression to determine the impact of drivers X1Xn on Analytic Impact
Examples:
Y = + 1X + 2C +
Y = Analytics and Activities X = Prevalence/Effectiveness of Driver X C = Control Variables 1 = Impact on Analytic Impact of Driver X

Gap Inc. conducts a needs assessment oriented around key human capital questions, not metrics, to help the business clearly articulate its needs without worrying about the data it needs.
Requiring business stakeholders to translate their needs into metrics introduces noise that creates an incomplete or distorted indication of the real business question. Gap Inc. seeks to understand the decision support the business needs first and then investigate the data required to meet that need.
Gap Inc.s Approach: Team-Initiated Needs Assessment What questions, if answered, would enable you to make better decisions for your business?
100 Human Capital Questions Survey1 (Illustrative) Please rank the top 15. 1. Are we losing critical talent? 2. Have we sufficiently minimized time to productivity for new hires? 3. Are we accurately predicting quality of hire? 4.
Typical Questions:
What data will address my challenge? What data am I most familiar with? What metrics have we tracked in the past? What metrics were featured in the Harvard Business Review article I just read? What metrics are gathered by the retail benchmarking report I received?
What is the challenge I need help with? What question do I need to answer? What decisions do I need to make?
Resulting Request: What are the drivers of training effectiveness? Do longer-tenured employees benefit from the same training approaches as new hires? Result Clear understanding of questions scope Ability to pursue all relevant metrics without re-scoping
Result Unclear understanding of underlying business need Wasted time and resources re-scoping and/or pursuing request

As part of the workforce distribution tool, Seagate displays the financial implications of different decision scenarios that leaders can take.
Seagate presents the financial implications using the percent difference in total labor cost of current and future distributions to the benchmark. The financial implications are not the focal point of the tool, but rather are presented to reflect the health of the workforce, acting as an urgency driver when a large percentage difference exists.
Step 1: Seagate calculates the estimated labor cost for each position (e.g., entry level, middle level). Example: A dd the lowest and highest labor cost for each position and divide it by 2. Lets assume the estimated labor costs are $50,000, $75,000, and $100,000 for entry level, middle level, and senior level respectively. Step 2: Seagate uses the total estimated labor costs to compare current and future organization distributions to the benchmark. Example: Multiply the position head count with the estimated labor cost for the position. Position Entry Level Middle Level Senior Level Total Benchmark Distribution Head Count 50 30 20 Cost $2,500,000 $2,500,000 $2,000,000 $6,750,000 Current Distribution Head Count 30 40 30 Cost $1,500,000 $3,000,000 $3,000,000 $7,500,000 Future Distribution Head Count 40 40 20 Cost $2,000,000 $3,000,000 $2,000,000 $7,000,000
Step 3: Seagate expresses the financial implications in terms of the percentage difference in total labor cost of current/ future distribution and the benchmark. Example: The percentage difference between current and benchmark distribution is Benchmark Current Current x 100
