AI capabilities must include appropriate governance, explainability, bias monitoring, model lifecycle management, and operational controls to ensure responsible and sustainable use of predictive analytics. 3. Interoperability & Multi-System Capability The platform must integrate effectively within National Grid's broader technology ecosystem, including SAP SuccessFactors and adjacent workforce systems. The solution must support multi-system workforce data integration, interoperability across HR, skills, learning, planning, and operational platforms, and secure API-based data exchange to enable consistent and connected workforce insight. 4. Core Reporting Foundation The platform must provide a reliable foundation for workforce reporting and operational analytics, including interactive dashboards, flexible filtering and drill-down capability, automated report distribution, and controlled data sharing to support consistent operational workforce insight. 5. Insight Experience & Narrative Layer The platform must support generation of meaningful workforce insight through guided analytics, narrative explanations, root-cause exploration, and intuitive visualisation, enabling HR and business users to move beyond static reporting to actionable and decision-oriented workforce insight. 6. Operating Model Sustainability & BAU Support The platform must support a sustainable and low complexity operating model with minimal dependency on specialist engineering resources. The solution must enable efficient administration, flexible configuration, controlled upgrade management, responsive vendor support, andeffective knowledge transfer to support long-term operational sustainability and maintainability. Project Deployment scope National Grid intends to implement a SaaS-based workforce analytics platform that delivers improved workforce insight, advanced analytics capability, narrative-led insight, and reduced engineering dependency beyond the current PeopleDataHub reporting model. The initial deployment phase is expected to establish: * Core SAP SuccessFactors integrations and workforce data model * Security, governance, and administration processes * Workforce analytics capability broadly aligned to current reporting coverage * Closure of key workforce, skills, and learning analytics gaps * Early adoption of advanced analytics, AI-enabled insight, and narrative capabilities * Transition of HR analytics users to the new platform The platform should support progressive integration of additional workforce and operational data sources, including ServiceNow, Qualtrics, and learning platforms.
