In setting strategy for an HR analytics function, it's imperative that we recognize trends in the industry, and where they may be leading. Although it's difficult to predict what's going to happen, there are certain things we know, which can be used to make reasonable predictions as to where technology is going. Being at the forefront of technology is paramount, and coming to grips with the issues that we will face due to very powerful technologies in the not-too-distant future will determine whether we can adapt successfully. Most companies are late adopters of new technology, preferring to let the market develop and mature. With rapidly advancing analytics technology, that is no longer an option if one is to gain a competitive advantage, otherwise become at a disadvantage.
