• Standard formulas applied • Transformed into OLAP cube using Cognos

Transformer

Examples

• Unable to set-up live demo

Next Steps

• Firm up the process• Add Absence reasons, top 5% flag and

occupational groups• More checking & testing • Document process • Collect data from more boroughs• Look at options for software

The Challenge… (a personal view)

• Management Information will be the lifeblood of workforce planning

• We need to see the possibilities of what it can provide. Spend more time using the data than designing reports.

• We need to be aiming to make the information more accessible for line managers – this means simpler and more standardisation
