You are the HR Director for a firm. The firm currently uses data analytics in its supply chain and now the CEO has tasked you with coming up with two ideas for using analytics from a workforce perspective. You are expected to present your two ideas to the strategic leadership team to review.

Which 2 workforce areas did you choose to present? For each idea explain the:

1. Hypothesis/business question.

2. Leading indicator(s).

3. Business impact metrics.

Make certain you include an introduction and concluding paragraphs.

Cite course materials as well as external resources in developing your answer

Students are expected to use the information gleaned from lectures, readings, videos, and topic assignments when formulating each assignment. Materials referenced from outside sources (those sources you found on your own) are to be used as secondary sources only.

These are to be viewed as term papers. Number of pages will vary depending upon the assignment. A rule of thumb should be about 5-7 pages in length. You may include diagrams, charts, tables, etc. in any of the assignments to further explain your point. The assignments are to be submitted via Turn-It-In.

The assignment should include:

An introductory paragraph of what you are writing about and the importance

The body of the paper should be broken out by paragraphs and/or sections.

Each idea or argument you present needs to be supported by research material.

Research material may include lectures, readings, videos, and outside research.

A concluding paragraph summarizing your research and your personal thoughts

In-text Citation and Bibliography (In-text citation is required even if it is course material.)
