Mumbai, Maharashtra, India – Business Wire India As organisations strive for greater efficiency and agility in a data-driven world, HR has evolved from a support function to a strategic leader driving business outcome. The integration of analytics and AI into HR practices is driving this transformation, enabling professionals to make smarter, faster decisions that optimise talent management, workforce planning, and performance. To equip HR leaders with these critical skills, ISB Executive Education, in collaboration with Emeritus, has come up with Transforming HR with Analytics and AI Programme, empowering them to harness data and AI to drive organisational success.

According to the, Top 5 Priorities for HR Leaders in 2025 report by Gartner, 47% of employees using AI say they have no idea how to achieve expected productivity gains and 87% of HR leaders agree that shifting business needs requires continuous HR transformation. These underscore the essential need for programmes that address the widening skills gap in HR, enabling professionals to harness AI and analytics for driving organisational change. While general HR programmes cover traditional people management skills, very few focus on integrating AI and analytics into HR practices—critical areas for HR leaders to master in today’s data-driven environment.

While many HR courses focus on traditional HR practices, few are tailored to equip professionals with the specific skills needed for AI and analytics in HR. This programme empowers HR leaders to drive impactful, data-driven decisions, enhancing workforce planning and talent management in today’s fast-evolving business environment.

With a strong focus on practical learning, global best practices, and cutting-edge tools in analytics and AI, this 16-week high-impact online programme is designed for HR professionals eager to integrate technology to enhance their careers. Targeting mid-senior managers and HR leaders, the programme provides both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the latest analytics and AI technologies. Additionally, it is also ideal for those looking to upgrade their HR expertise, elevate their role in driving organisational success, or prepare for leadership positions by mastering the tools that are reshaping the HR landscape.

Commenting on the Transforming HR with Analytics and AI programme, Mr. Avnish Singhal, Executive Vice President, India and APAC, Emeritus, stated, "HR is no longer just about managing people—it is about using data and technology to solve complex business challenges.
