Research Thought Leader

“Absolute figures in a connected world don't


give us a whole picture. They are not as true
as they could be. We need relative figures
that are connected to other data, that can
lead us to change our perspective.”

for global organizations that want
to build their overall knowledge of
their employees beyond hiring—for
development, promotion, internal
mobility and succession planning.”
