In this episode, we ask: once we have all our basic analytics in place, how can we continue to improve decision-making? Listen too, as we preview the upcoming AGILITY REIMAGED Summit in beautiful downtown Toronto on Sept 14th

Joining guest host Pauline James on the show is David Creelman, CEO at Creelman Research. David provides training and consulting on how managers can use analytics (rather than “do” analytics) and is a recognized thought leader in people management and a Fellow of the Centre for Evidence-based Management.

Based in Toronto and Kuala Lumpur, David works with think tanks such as Talent Tech Labs in New York, Works Institute out of Tokyo, Workforce Institute in Boston, and CRF in London.

His most recent books are "The CMO of People: Manage Employees Like Customers" and "Management for Scientists and Engineers". He's currently investigating what it would take to create an AI coach that would have a meaningful impact on leadership.

The panel will discuss 'How do People and Culture divisions need to adapt their structure, approach, and services to ensure they are equipped to meet the changing needs of employees and the organization?' Tell our listeners about the panel and some of the hoped-for learning outcomes.
