David Liddle's session explores how people leaders can harness data to better understand the needs, motivations and lived experiences of their workforce. It positions the people and culture function as an oracular presence in organisational life: a trusted interpreter of insights, stories and patterns that reveal where attention and investment are required. Delegates will examine practical ways to gather and interpret people data, connect insights to the eight enablers of a transformational culture, and ground wellbeing, engagement and inclusion strategies in real evidence. The session also introduces the emerging contribution of AI to create predictive insight, strengthen decision making, drive business performance and support a more proactive and strategically influential people and culture function.
