Wish This Were One Of Mine! One of my goals for 2013 is to spend more time painting, particularly illustrated journaling. The particular techniques of interest are to do quick, annotated line drawings and/or watercolor sketches of whatever takes my fancy as we travel/play/go boating/whatever within an easily portable bound journal. I also want [...] Show Me The Money! [After many vendor briefings in Q1 2011, I published a series of blog posts summarizing my reactions to those briefings which really captured, as of then, how I evaluated vendors and their products/services. Rereading those posts after a two year hiatus, I was struck not only by their relevance to [...] [After many vendor briefings in Q1 2011, I published a series of blog posts summarizing my reactions to those briefings which really captured, as of then, how I evaluated vendors and their products/services.

And for those of you with a few minutes to spare, this video from http://www.maccabeats.com will get you into the right mood.

These are the types of mysteries written during the Golden Age of British mysteries by the Queens of this genre: Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, Dorothy Sayers and Margery Allingham. I so [...] There Are So Many Causes Of Project Failure There was quite a lot of discussion on Twitter and in the blogosphere earlier this week about a major payroll project disaster plaguing the State of California government. That discussion broadened to include tales of more failed payroll as well as ERP and various other large-scale systems projects. If [...]
There But For The Grace Of G-d Go Us! [The original version of this post was published here in January, 2012, but a call I did last night with a magazine editor reminded me that we must emphasize just how important it is to start any HR technology project with a well-grounded strategy.

What would I make happen if my magic wand, bought years ago at FAO Schwarz, could be recharged? What would I ask him to do if The [...] Disclosure: If you think you read this last Christmas, you’re quite right. And you may read it again.
