Data and talent are two of the most powerful drivers of performance—but aligning them effectively remains a persistent challenge.

To explore how these decisions play out in practice, HBR editors have introduced a new HBS Case Selection: Data and Talent Management—part of a growing library that brings together Harvard Business School case studies on real‑world leadership decisions. These collections help you step into complex situations, evaluate tradeoffs, and think through how leaders balance technology, people, and performance.

Available with a Premium or HBR Executive level subscription, HBS Case Selections gives you access to real‑world insight you can apply directly to your work.
