"John, Jean and Mark start where others stop. The point is that analytics is more than just ROI calculations. Three key points are: first, the game belongs to prediction. You can't change the past, but you can learn how to apply it in predictive methods. Second, data integration generates leverage....Third, it's all about application. We can't just dump findings on management. We have to be partners in using the outcomes to run the organizations more effectively. John and company do a great job of leading the reader through these points." * Dr Jac Fitz-enz, author and founder of the Saratoga Institute * "If you need to evaluate your investments in talent, or use HR analytics to inform business decisions, then this book is a godsend.

This book outlines how to stop operating on anecdotes and start functioning with evidence.

This is truly an exceptional read and a gift to the learning and talent field at large." * Kieran King, Global Vice President, Customer Insight at Skillsoft * "This book... is a must-have reference for anyone in the business of learning. The authors are trailblazers in the field of analytics, and provide practical steps that stakeholders can take to ensure their evaluation dollars are spent wisely. More importantly, they focus... on how to align future learning programs with the needs of the business, which directly impacts program funding and executive sponsorship." * Andy Wainwright, VP HR Partnerships at CareerCurve *
