You've no doubt seen the warnings on the back of semi-trucks driving down the highway: "If you can't see my mirrors, I can't see you." We all have blind spots, and talent data can help identify these blind spots in your company before you get run off the road. According to Deloitte Insights, "84 percent of respondents [to a Global Human Trends survey] viewed people analytics as important or very important." Clearly, analyzing talent should be at the top of any business leader's priority list, and if that's not obvious, there's no chance you're catching all of the blind spots in your company.
The Blind Spots
Inc.com says that, according to research, the top 10 leadership and company blind spots are:
We've bolded the ones that turn up most commonly in talent analytics. Here's how that works:
Going it Alone - when you do your analytics in a vaccuum, either because you can't publish wide enough, or worse when you have to work on data silos because you can't connect systems together
Having an "I Know" Attitude - this can also be thought of as urban legends - where people trust their gut instead of using analytics. Normally that's because not enough data is available to even test the hypothesis
Blaming Others - I can't do it because the data isn't good enough is a big example of this
Tolerating "Good Enough" - where you only analyze the smallest datasets because they are all you can get.
