Marine Corps Moneyball: Operationalizing Personnel Analytics to Manage the Future Force

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to assess the future impacts of operationalizing personnel analytics in the United States Marine Corps. The discourse begins with a definition of analytics, tracing its evolution to the human resource management arena, as well as highlighting the difference between quantitative and qualitative data. Current performance evaluation models inherent to the Marine Corps are then discussed to serve as a reference point for follow on analyses and to articulate how personnel analytics could be used to augment current models. An emergent model, based on the current Commandant of the Marine Corps guidance, is then offered to serve as an additional reference point. The paper concludes with summary thoughts and recommendations for exploring personnel analytics in the future.
