Don’t Make Your Next Performance Review Suck
Corporate America appears to be doing a very poor job when it comes to aligning goals, providing performance feedback, and actually investing in the development of employees.
The Emergence of Data Scientists
Every year around this time, I like to do a tour of companies, mostly startups, in Silicon Valley. It’s a chance for me to get annual pulse on new trends in “the valley”. Silicon Valley is like no other place. When I grew up there many years ago it was a much different place. [...]

Can Big Data Predict Your Future Stars?
Within one week, Jeremy Lin, has gone from a relative unknown to a global sensation. In the same week, he went from near unemployment to a sporting sensation now referred as “Linsanity“.

Are iPads Invading the Enterprise?
I recently read an article suggesting 92% of Fortune 500 companies are either testing or deploying iPads. According to Good Technology, though, 2 industries — Financial Services and High Technology — account for nearly 50% of the Top 100 iPad accounts. Interestingly, Retail, the industry I think could benefit the most from tablets, only accounts [...]
What’s in a Cloud?
One of the biggest frustrations in my past life as a “customer advocate” (not consultant) was the complexity involved to buy and deploy talent management solutions. During the past few years, the demand for “integrated talent management suites” has accelerated. Unfortunately, the talent management vendors haven’t met the challenge. They continue to sell discrete “modules” [...]
Not All SaaS Is Created Equal
Let me preface by saying I’m a SaaS bigot. My SaaS bigotry stems from nearly every vendor that has rushed to plastered a “look at me, I am now SaaS” on their front door (metaphorically speaking of course). Borrowing a phrase from my friend Anshu Sharma of Salesforce.com, “…you can’t put a car on a [...]
