Clowns To The Left Of Us, Jokers To The Right:  It’s Easy To Spot Ineffective HRM

Clowns To The Left Of Us, Jokers To The Right: It’s Easy To Spot Ineffective HRM

By Naomi Bloom on December 4, 2011

Clowns To The Left Of Us, Jokers To The Right Of Us… I’ve been collecting stories for years.  Family stories, stories about friends, about trips Ron and I have made, about colleagues and others with whom I’ve crossed paths professionally, about the highlights and lowlights (and lowlives) in my personal and professional lives.  Now, with […]

NorthgateArinso - More than you might suspect....

NorthgateArinso – More than you might suspect….

By Brian Sommer on April 29, 2011

Dr Pepper (full disclosure – my favorite beverage) had an ad campaign for years claiming their carbonated drink was “so misunderstood“.  Over the years, I’ve encountered a number of technology and services firms whose reputation or brand stood for one thing but the company was actually something else altogether. NorthgateArinso (NGA) is somewhat in that camp. […]

Is HR Really A Pink-Collared Ghetto?

Is HR Really A Pink-Collared Ghetto?

By Naomi Bloom on April 25, 2011

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 at a critical […]

HRM Software/Services Q1 Vendor Briefings — Strategy Matters

HRM Software/Services Q1 Vendor Briefings — Strategy Matters

By Naomi Bloom on March 7, 2011

Show Me The Money! In my last post, I wrote about one aspect of the way in which I look at and learn about the HRM software vendors and outsourcing providers with whom I’ve been meeting over the last few months, namely their ambition as businesses.  In this post I want to take up another important aspect of […]

HRM #EnSW Vendor Consolidation Fairy Tales

HRM #EnSW Vendor Consolidation Fairy Tales

By Naomi Bloom on January 7, 2011

“Fairy Tales May Come True, It Could Happen To You” There was a ton of consolidation in the HRM software and services market during 2010, and 2011 is off to a roaring start with SumTotal’s acquisition of GeoLearning.  There’s a lot more to come, and speculation is already rampant about: which LMS vendor SuccessFactors and/or Peopleclick Authoria […]

Is SHRM Listening?

Is SHRM Listening?

By Naomi Bloom on November 10, 2010

SHRM — Are You Listening? Forty years on, and we’re still talking about organizational readiness for strategic HRM (of which talent management is a large piece).  Boring!  The time for action is long past.  SHRM, are you listening? Why the hell isn’t your critical HRM data (e.g. positions, jobs, KSAOCs, worker, organizational structures, etc.) in […]

Well-spent Workday @ Workday–Here’s the Firehose

Well-spent Workday @ Workday–Here’s the Firehose

By Zoli Erdos on August 24, 2010

Yesterday I was privileged to sit in a group of 20 or so analysts (many of them fellow Enterprise Irregulars) invited to Workday’s first ever Technology Summit. For short background, Workday’s original call to fame came from it’s Founder, Dave Duffield, an Enterprise Software Legend, who built PeopleSoft from nothing to a position of challenging […]
