Abstract
This chapter briefly summarizes the main themes of the previous sections, along with the key takeaway from each chapter. It then provides concluding thoughts on the application of the ACAI model to the field and how its application is an ongoing process. The chapter further reflects on the future of workforce analytics (WFA), specifically the changing nature of work that WFA experts will face and be expected to help organizations navigate. These changes include the impermanence of work, workers, and organizations. The chapter further highlights the importance of understanding the complexities of the field, ranging from varied actor perspectives to data and analytic demands to answering the right questions. It discusses the work needed to bridge the apparent academic–practitioner divide in the field and the demand for WFA practitioners, and reflects on key considerations when building an effective WFA team. The chapter ends by highlighting that the ACAI process can help organizations ensure the effective application of WFA.
