The Path to People Intelligence: Building a Foundation Worth Automating

21 Oct 2026
Case Study Theater 1 - Expo Hall
Case Study Session

Klick Health grew from 600 people to more than 2,000. The people analytics function that had to keep up with that growth started as one person, a set of spreadsheets, and no blueprint for what to build first.

In this session, Liz Sheridan, Director of People Insights at Klick Health, walks through the real, non-linear path from that starting point to a connected people intelligence engine: the current-state discovery that surfaced the HR tech gaps, the trade-offs behind every investment decision, and how partnering with One Model created a reliable foundation that leaders could explore on their own.

Then AI arrived and changed the economics of the work. Liz covers what it accelerated, what it complicated, and why a trustworthy data foundation became more valuable rather than less. You’ll leave with the frameworks her team actually used to prioritize under real constraints, and a practical way to judge whether your own foundation is ready for what you want to build on top of it, regardless of team size.

Learning Objective 1

Assess whether your organization's people data foundation is reliable enough to support AI-driven analysis before investing further in interfaces and tools.

Learning Objective 2

Apply a prioritization approach for allocating limited analytics capacity between near-term support and long-term foundation building, using impact and effort to guide trade-offs.

Learning Objective 3

Identify the highest-leverage next project in your own environment by tracing a live business question back to where the data is entered, rather than searching for a universal metrics checklist.
