How Can Workforce Analytics Enable States to Align Talent Supply and Employer Needs of the Future

We are seeing an emerging golden age of workforce analytics tools and efforts to provide states, higher ed and corporations with the data they need to drive talent supply and demand. We see big moves as States increasingly compete against their peers for talent and businesses. KKR's acquisition and merger of EMSI Burning Glass, along with Pearson's acquisition of Faethm signals the importance of workforce analytics tools to facilitate these conversations. But the key to success is not just to access tools. Rather, it is to understand how to use the data to drive cultural change and incentives from state legislators, agencies, and front-line decision makers.
