Impressions From HR Technology Conference 2012

Trumpie And Me!

I’ve just reread my observations from last year’s conference, and you should too. If I say so myself, it’s a pretty accurate portrayal of what was happening then, much of which is still happening but which is much farther along, at least in some (but by no means all) vendor […]

Reprise In Time For #HRTechConf: Do You Know How To Answer These Questions?

[I posted the original version of this on 9-12-2011, just in time for last year’s HR Technology Conference. Now here we are again, in frantic last minute preparations, but so wanting to be sure that our conference plans are focused on the important HRM delivery system issues that we’re facing. So I thought it […]

Zombie HR Tech Vendors

Zombie Jamboree

What got me thinking about this was reviewing the list of exhibitors for the upcoming HR Technology Conference in Chicago. There are vendors on that list who’ve been around at least as long as the conference (and some for much longer), never gaining much sales momentum, never gaining much financial scale, […]

Everybody’s Talking ’bout Workday’s IPO, But I Think There’s Still More To Say

Everybody's Talkin'

[Full disclosure: Workday is a client as are a number of their competitors. More importantly, I been looking under the covers of HRM enterprise software practically forever, and before that I was writing the code.]

I still haven’t digested every word in Workday’s recently released S-1, nor am I likely […]

Loss Leaders: Great For Kodak Film But Perhaps Not For HR Technology

 

We Sell Kodak Film

[Like all early childhood memories, please consider this story as a possibly flawed recollection. What remains is the learning, for which I’m very grateful.]

I learned about loss leaders on my 5th birthday in 1950. My family-only birthday party (my Mom was very ill and died a year […]

IBM Buys Kenexa — A Dramatization

I’ve been experimenting with GoAnimate, trying to make quick videos on a range of personal and professional topics. Here’s one I just did on the latest deal in HR technology: IBM buys Kenexa http://goanimate.com/videos/0MW0S_pmXbek?utm_source=linkshare. For a more complete treatment, you may want to join the discussion over at LinkedIn (free registration required). I’ll look forward […]

Guest Post — Paul Sparta — Apple Patent Victory Over Samsung Is A Disaster For Software

Apple vs Samsung

[This is my first guest post ever on my blog, and it’s very timely. For those of you who may not know my valued colleague Paul Sparta, who wrote this post, Paul is the former Chairman and CEO of Plateau Systems, Ltd. (until Plateau was acquired by Successfactors before Successfactors […]

I’m Keynoting European HR Tech Conf In Amsterdam

Last year I keynoted my first conference outside of the US, a major HR technology conference held in Athens. I had hesitated to accept such speaking engagements in the past out of a concern that my style of speaking, my humor (or what I think is humorous), and my Yiddishisms wouldn’t translate well for an […]

Reprise: Legacy HRMS/Legacy Marriage: Sunk Costs Versus Innovation

[I wrote this post in June, 2010, just when Al and Tipper Gore had announced their separation mid-2010, at a time when true SaaS InFullBloom was in its infancy. I was spending a ton of time with a wide range of vendors, some licensees of my “Starter Kit,” working hard on the next generation […]

15th Annual HR Technology Conference 2012 Attendee Tips

Having almost finished preparations for a long trip to England in September, soon I’ll be putting the finishing touches on my schedule for the 15th annual HR Technology Conference and making final preparations for the two sessions I’ll be doing there. From the time we arrive in Chicago late Saturday afternoon (yes, The Wallace […]
