Digital Master Class: Design Strategy with Bird Dogs Nov 16, 2021

Show notes

A design strategy is an intersection of what's valuable for customers and what's profitable for businesses. It is the process of creating a set of guiding principles that articulate the business mission and vision with the design of their products or services. Through it, businesses can answer the question, what's next. In other words, it ensures your team produces what your business needs to align its success to its customers’ needs. Product teams are working overtime to fix bugs, ship the next release or update, and handle tactical day-to-day tasks without having the time or resources to think beyond 12 months. Navigating only in the short-term, teams chase down only the things they can see just ahead. But how do teams unlock ambitious multi-year plans, growth strategies, and new products that take the business beyond their current roadmap? In this episode of our Digital Master Class series, Chris Hood and Natalie Piucco are joined by Golden Krishna to discuss how Google thinks about design strategy, and how organizations can focus on what's next.

Digital Master Class: People Analytics Nov 02, 2021

Show notes

People Analytics is about using a data-driven approach to inform your people practices, programs, and processes. Analytical techniques, ranging from reporting and metrics to predictive analytics to experimental research can help you uncover new insights, solve people problems and direct your HR actions. At Google, we use people analytics as a foundational building block that informs everything we do to find, grow and keep Googlers. When faced with a challenging people issue or an important people decision, the conventional approach is to engage in endless debate based on emotions, instincts, and anecdotes. We believe instead that an analytical approach incorporating facts and science can lead to more effective and fair solutions and decisions. In this episode of our Digital Master Class series, Chris Hood and Natalie Piucco are joined by Mary Kate Stimmler to shed light on how to begin adopting data-driven decision approaches in HR, and how Google uses People Analytics to build one of the world's best places to work.

In this episode, Chris Hood and Natalie Piucco welcome Tanushree Gupta, Head of Digital Transformation for EMEA at Google Cloud, to walk through our organizational transformation workshop, and discuss how Google thinks about building successful environments that empower people, grow business value, and cultivate innovation.
