Where Does Technical Design Debt Originate? I spent a very intense week last July in Silicon Valley meeting mostly full days each with Workday, SuccessFactors, Taleo, Saba and SAP, and would like to start this post with a huge and very public thank you to all of these vendors for their time, their […] InFullBloom Celebrates 2nd Birthday Who could have guessed, not only that I would have a blog, but also that I would be celebrating its 2nd anniversary and scoping out the topics for year 3? It’s been a wonderful two years, and I can’t thank my readers enough for investing their time with me. […] Mechugas — Fun But Without Organizational Purpose I love the fact that enterprise software is becoming more like consumer software every day — more usable, more accessible, more obvious and discoverable functionality, more mobile/social/global, and with much more of the look and feel of the consumer Web sites I’ve come to know and […] Steve Jobs 1955-2011 I never knew Steve Jobs, and I haven’t been an Apple fangirl until very recently. But his death, his oh so too early death, coming so close to Yom Kippur, has intensified my sense of this holiest of Jewish holidays.

One could speculate at length, and others […] Dr. Naomi Is In! Unlike my good friend Ray Wang, there are no Naomi clones. Just this solo consultant trying to save the world from bad HRM and HRM delivery systems.

It’s a war whose enemy combatants wear no recognizable uniforms, dwell […] After I finish preparations for my master class at HR Florida 2011, I’ll be putting the final touches on my schedule for the 14th annual HR Technology Conference and making preparations for the two sessions I’ll be doing there. From the time we arrive in Las Vegas late Saturday afternoon (yes, The Wallace will […] What Goes In Vegas Doesn't Stay There! I’m writing this as Fort Myers is experiencing a relatively mild summer (compared to the rest of the country’s astonishing heat) while getting enough rain to float all boats. But no lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer here. A quick look at my calendar and todo […] Hurricane Charley 2004 I’m flippin’ tired of all the bad news. My twitterstream has been a surreal mixture this year of enterprise software (#EnSW) developments, HRM happenings and insights (#HRM) and all things related to HR technology (#HRTech) along with the end of civilization as we’ve known it brought to me by the […] |
