How People Analytics Empowers the Chief ...

DAVID GREEN
About this episode

HR is at a tipping point: lead with data or risk being led by others. 


As organisations face growing complexity - from AI disruption to shifting stakeholder expectations - the role of HR is changing fast. Today’s Chief People Officers are expected to do more than care for culture - they’re expected to influence strategy, shape business outcomes, and back it all up with data. 


In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, host David Green is joined by Dean Carter, former Chief People Officer at Patagonia, Sears, Fossil, and Guild, and now Founder and Chief Experience Officer at Modern Executive Solutions.  


Dean has spent his career pushing HR beyond tradition, embedding people analytics at the core of strategy and helping organisations hire the next generation of transformative HR leaders. 


Tune in, as they explore: 


  • The story behind Dean’s analytics awakening, and how it reshaped his approach to HR 


  • Why so many HR teams get stuck in “dashboard delivery”, and how to move toward insight and impact 


  • How renaming his team to “Insights and Outcomes” changed executive expectations 


  • The measurable business and human value of Patagonia’s four-day workweek 


  • Why HR must reclaim workforce planning, and treat it as a strategic lever, not a finance function 

 

  • Today’s Heads of People Analytics skillsets need to step into CPO roles 


  • What separates data-driven HR teams that lead from those that react 


This episode, sponsored by Worklytics, brings clarity and urgency to a conversation every people leader needs to hear. It is more than a call for better reporting - it’s a roadmap for turning HR into a strategic powerhouse. 


Worklytics helps leaders understand how work actually happens with data-driven insights into collaboration, productivity and AI adoption. 


By analysing real work patterns - from meetings to tool usage - they empower teams to work smarter, not harder. 


And here’s something special: Worklytics is offering Digital HR Leaders listeners a complimentary AI adoption assessment to understand how your teams are really using AI - and where untapped potential lies. But don’t wait - spots are limited.
