People analytics consulting

A structured diagnostic sprint that measures what your HR data and people-analytics practice can really do today — then hands you a roadmap worth keeping, whether or not you ever buy the platform.

Assessment first, platform second

Most vendors demo first and ask questions later. We start the other way around: a fixed-scope diagnostic that evaluates your infrastructure, your current people-analytics capabilities and your goals — delivered as a professional report you own.

What it measures

  • HR system landscape & data readiness (T01–T03)
  • Current people-analytics practice: metrics, reports, audience (T06)
  • Your expectations, decision criteria and roadmap (T04)
  • Maturity score with clear L1–L4 banding

What you keep

  • A branded assessment report (PDF) with findings & recommendations
  • Prioritised actions — valuable with or without our platform
  • A dual-track roadmap: accelerated with us, achievable independently
  • The answer to "are we ready — and for what, exactly?"

The diagnostic sprint — six steps, two weeks

Structured like a Big-4 assessment, run inside our client portal. You complete three short questionnaires; our consultants do the analysis.

    Expectations

    Your expectations, in your own words: why now, who consumes the answers, what success looks like at day 90.

    Source inventory

    Where the people data lives: systems, owners, formats, access — filled by your HRIS admin in ~15 minutes.

    Current capabilities

    What you already measure today: metrics tracked, recurring reports, tools, audience, decision usage.

    Maturity scorecard

    Mapping complexity

    Each source classified S/M/L/XL for mapping effort — so scope and timeline are honest, not hopeful.

A roadmap that stands on its own

Every engagement ends with a phased plan in two variants. If we are the right fit, we accelerate it. If not, you still leave with a plan worth executing.

Phase 1 — Foundation
Fix the data foundation and stabilise the metrics you already produce.
With Workforce ObservatoryConnectors + assisted mapping; first governed metrics live in weeks.
Without the platformInternal sprint on data quality; standardise the monthly report manually.
Phase 2 — Visibility
Trustworthy visibility for managers and leadership.
With Workforce ObservatoryLive executive dashboards, role-based access, cohort suppression.
Without the platformAutomated report suite in your existing BI tool.
Phase 3 — Analytics
From describing the past to anticipating what comes next.
With Workforce ObservatoryExtend into attrition risk and workforce planning on the same model.
Without the platformRecurring data-quality program + an annual roadmap review.

Both tracks lead to the same target — the difference is speed and how much technical risk you carry alone.

  • Fixed scopeNo open-ended discovery
  • You own the reportPDF + editable export
  • Honest outcomeValue even at “no fit”
  • Portal-nativeQuestionnaires inside the portal

Start with the assessment

A diagnostic sprint is the fastest honest answer to “what can our people data actually do?” — and the report is yours whatever you decide next.
