Analytics today and in the future with Haig Nalbantian

I started to think lately that it’s a shame not to share what you best know to new generations and  to societies.  How are we going to progress if we keep the good information to ourselves  (good information in the sense that; outstanding expert advices, books read and quotes that helped our lives).

Did you ever think that maybe with few words you put in writing or few moments you spend  with a person  can have a huge positive impact?  This is my motto now #shareyourbest 

So here I am thinking what could best fit to this topic and I am  thrilled with the idea that I need to share some videos of my dear colleague Haig Nalbantian.

Haig is a Senior Partner at Mercer and he is also the cofounder of Workforce institute for the company. He is the guru in my eyes for the topic of analytics and one of the best consultants my paths have crossed.

It was only a few months ago I squeezed an interview with him on the topic of “analytics today and in the future” as  its often I am running into questions of  "what the future holds for students on this area, how important it is and do we have the luxury to neglect this topic? "

 

I myself couldn't agree more on the essence of this topic. Every project we work on starts with the KPIs and  what we want to achieve. No surprise that KPIs always aim for improved results for recurring projects and analytics is our greatest support with context  added on top of it. As little as sending a mass email at a certain time or measuring the open rate of a long text content versus a short text content can be the game changers that you might be looking for. Analytics is the key for all this.

While you enjoy the responses first hand from Haig; WEF’s Future of Jobs report confirms that the rising star jobs  are  going to be taken over by data analysts.
