| | Editor's Note: HR's Data Imperative |  | | Companies talk about data-driven decisions, but 80% of HR practitioners say their company leaders still rely on "gut feelings" to make people-based decisions, a 2015 survey by the Human Capital Institute and Oracle finds. That helps explain why the better use of data, in one form or another, fuels each of what Oracle HR expert Bertrand Dussert calls "the four big bets every HR organization should be making". His article on this subject and the supporting infographic describe big strategic bets CHROs should make in 2016, including sharpening their team's data analysis skills. Those bets also include moving away from annual performance reviews—in part because they don't generate strong data and feedback. Dussert warns, though, that even with powerful HCM and the best-possible data, "HR leaders need to moderate expectations that managing performance will be fun." | Better data is one of the big benefits Overhead Door CIO Larry Freed sees after moving his company to a cloud-based HCM platform. After the company acquired its largest competitor, Freed sought to help the human resources department modernize. Using cloud-based HCM unified the two employee bases and eliminated paper-based processes—a shift that brought opportunities for the HR department to focus on higher-value work.

In fact, this speed of innovation is the single most important benefit companies get from cloud software, according to Steve Miranda, Oracle's executive vice president, applications development.
