Dave Weisbeck has been a leader in the field of business intelligence, reporting and analytics for nearly 20 years. His background includes key leadership roles in designing and delivering Crystal Reports, Business Objects, and related solutions. The past five years have seen him and his team at Visier build one of the most innovative solutions in the space, one that helps aggregate, visualize, and analyze data from HR, Finance, and other disparate systems. It also helps facilitate the distribution of insights so leaders and HR business partners thoughout an organization can make more informed, wiser decisions. In this discussion, Dave and Al explore how people analytics is emerging, and how many roadblocks of the past are now being removed through technology innovation. This means leaders have little reason to feel the anguish and uncertainty of guesswork. They can, and arguably need to, move to a place where they're making people-related decisions based on data-based insights.

Over the past 15 years, RJ Milnor has emerged as one of the most accomplished consultants and practitioners in the fields of talent planning, analytics, and reporting.
