Adventures of Bloom & Wallace

a work in progress

Choices, Compromises, Serendipity and Sh#t

The Compass Rose Of Life

Life doesn’t just happen. Well actually it does, but there are a zillion opportunities for you to chart and then steer your own path through it by how you react to the opportunities and challenges that life offers. The choices you make (shall I marry Ron Wallace or […]

Remembering 9/11: Let’s Give ’em Hell!

What follows is an email I wrote to friends and family on 9/13/2001 after arriving home safely in what can only be described as the great HR Tech Conference evacuation of 2001. It was a very scary time, and what I wrote captures both my fears and my anger. If I’d had a blog then, […]

Event Report — Workday Technology Summit 8-23-2010 — Humongous Post

Workday held a briefing yesterday for twenty of enterprise software’s toughest and most knowledgeable analysts. Workday had much more to say about their technology and business strategy, about their underlying architecture and object model, and about what’s cooking in the Lab than they’ve revealed thus far to this type of audience. Even a few surprises […]

M&A Observations: Whither Goest Genesys?

Late-breaking news. Genesys’ buyer is PeopleStrategy, the current owner of Integral Systems (which was Dave Duffield’s predecessor company to PeopleSoft, so we’re going back here to the mid-80’s for it’s heyday). PeopleStrategy is led by Randy Cooper, who also led the buy of Genesys for Salary.com. Randy is very experienced with that generation of […]

“Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose” — Let’s Change That In Chicago

The more things change, the more they remain the same doesn’t sound as romantic as the French, but it’s a reasonable translation. So it is in many aspects of life, and so it is especially in my little corner of the professional world, at that intersection of HRM and IT where I’ve been camped out […]

In Search Of HRM/HRMDS/HR Tech “Best” Practices: France/Spain

The Glory Of Carcassone At Night

Ron and I will be traveling again from 6/25 through 7/17 (life is short!) mostly in the Languedoc and Dordogne in France and on the Med coast of Spain between Valencia and Barcelona. We’ll be soaking up “best” practices in HRM, the HRM delivery system […]

Father’s Day Thoughts: Remembering Jack Samuel Bloom

Yahrzeit Candle

From my Dad I inherited:

his ability to tell a good story, to make a point while making you laugh; his commitment to active friendship, the kind of friendship that does what you need even when you don’t know you need it; his belief that any day on […]

In Search Of HRM/HRMDS/HR Tech “Best” Practices: Istanbul To Venice — Field Report Part II

Regent Seven Seas Mariner Underway

The first part of this post was a personal report on our recent travels. In this second part, I want to share what I learned about our industry’s “best” practices along the way. More specifically, I want to describe some of the HRM practices that Regent Seven Seas […]

Legacy HRMS/Legacy Marriage: Sunk Costs Versus Innovation

From The Terrific Web Site http://www.erpgraveyard.com/

Al and Tipper Gore by Steve Mack/FilmMagic

Two completely unrelated conversations over the last week caused that ding ding thing in my brain that happens when the dots connect themselves and I have an aha moment. One of those discussions took place […]

In Search Of HRM/HRMDS/HR Tech “Best” Practices: Istanbul To Venice — Field Report Part I

Istanbul was Constantinople, now it’s Istanbul.

Ron and I were traveling from from 4/30 through 5/17/10 from Istanbul to Venice, soaking up “best” practices in HRM, the HRM delivery system and HR technology every step of the way. I did some live tweeting from “the road” and sent frequent travel bulletins to friends […]
