Adventures of Bloom & Wallace

a work in progress

Larry Ellison And I Disagree, And Not Just About The America’s Cup

First things first. Although all responsibility for this post is mine, I want to offer my sincere appreciation to Michael Krigsman (@mkrigsman on Twitter) for his suggestions on how I could write a better, more useful and balanced post and to Dennis Moore (@dbmoore on Twitter) for his insights (with which I agree entirely) about […]

HRM Software/Services Q1 Vendor Briefings — It’s A Wrap!

In my first post in this series on learnings from my Q1 vendor briefings/demos, I wrote about the implications of HRM software and services vendor ambitions for buyers and, more generally, for the industry. In my second post in this series, I covered a wide range of changes in the context within which these vendors […]

Monaco To Paris With Twitterscope Up

Provence, Toujours Provence

You’ll have noticed that my last post went up on May 3rd, shortly after we left for two weeks vacation. Before I return to our regularly scheduled programming, to blogs on more or less professional topics, I wanted to say a few words about this vacation and its impact on my […]

HRM Software/Services Q1 Vendor Briefings — What Impresses Me?

How The Hell Should I Know What Software Is Best?

Here’s another post that I had meant to write much sooner, but now it will post while we’re in Monaco before the start of our cruise up the Rhone River. I’m going to try to do some tweeting/posting from the “road,” always hopeful […]

Is It Really SaaS If?

If It Looks Like A Duck…

I’ve long since put to rest the whole multi-tenancy debate around SaaS. If it isn’t multi-tenant, then it isn’t SaaS. You can host/subscribe single tenant software, and with piles of virtualization and other techniques for optimizing data center/operations costs, you may be able to approximate the operations […]

Is HR Really A Pink-Collared Ghetto?

HR Is A Dominated By Women But Led By Men

I had planned to write this last September, so let’s just pretend that I did rather than wondering why I didn’t. It’s a critically important topic, and I hope that you’ll listen to the whole linked replay of the underlying discussion. We’re […]

Simple Pleasures — Hangin’ At Headquarters

Sunset Over Lake Devonwood

Some time back I wrote about the cattle, gators and eagles at B&W headquarters. Our home and my working office are on Lake Devonwood, which began its life as a quarry when they were building the Tamiami Trail back in the 20’s, and now it’s become so naturalized that the […]

HRM Software/Services Q1 Vendor Briefings — Capability Matters

HRM May Not Need Battlestar Galactica Capabilities

My first post in this series focused on the importance of understanding the ambitions of HRM software/services vendors and the implications of those ambitions for buyers/investors/employees/the industry. Next came a post focused on the different strategies of these same vendors, the many moving parts that must be […]

Harry’s And Naomi’s Rules To Live By — Part I

Sunset At Bloom & Wallace HQ

After doing one popular post inspired by the artifacts in my office, I thought I’d do another. This one is based on a very yellowed newspaper clipping (yes, they used to come on paper, which yellowed over time and became quite fragile, not unlike electronic files whose formats […]

Reengineering Is Very Much Like Sex

Sex Sells!

For reasons too complicated to explain, even to myself, I’ve been doing a lot of clearing out of the “underbrush” in my office over the last couple of weeks. Some of this was absolutely essential because the physical piles of papers that will never be read, the files of long gone […]
