People Metrics

1.5 units

Since metrics are at the core of people analytics, this course introduces students to the foundations of assessing behavior in organizations using novel measurement approaches and large datasets. Through classroom discussions and real-world applications, this course will enable students to add value to organizations through the development, use, and interpretation of innovative people metrics. Specifically, after taking this course, students will be able to develop a clear and logical conceptual measurement model. A conceptual measurement model is the foundation of creating novel and useful new approaches for assessing intrapersonal characteristics (e.g., personality) and interpersonal behavior (e.g., knowledge sharing, teamwork).
