Even for the biggest companies the analysis is only going to be as good as the internal performance measuring system and how can a company gain confidence that is working?

There was a long discussion in the GCP thread yesterday about what google has been hiring and promoting for over the last ten years and what culture that produced. Any look-back at hiring methodology vs success at google is going to embed that implicit strategy. Among other things that means another company should very much not extrapolate from Google’s experience—-even if it is based on solid data analysis—-unless they are trying to replicate that culture.
