Kuljanin’s consulting work focuses on analyzing data on any organization’s most important resource: its people. In particular, his consulting involves applying advanced analytics (e.g., machine learning, dynamical modeling, organizational network analysis, computational modeling) on employee, team, unit and organizational data to develop adaptively effective HRM and OB strategies for organizational objectives. This includes consulting and leading training seminars on job and work analysis, job placement, employee staffing, employee training and development, motivation, teamwork, leadership and business and people analytics.
