Reprise — #HRTechConf And #HRTechEurope 2014 Attendee Tips
This comes to you from our Viking Longship, Forseti, tied up in the very heart of the City of Bordeaux on its completely renewed waterfront.

My First Word On #HRTechConf 2013 — And Your Best Discount
Bill And Me And HRTechConf Makes Three! I’m writing this as Ron and I are in New England visiting my family and both childhood and university friends.

“I’ve Looked At Clouds From Both Sides Now”
Coming of age in the 60′s, I was so blessed to be there when some of the greatest folk music ever was written and performed, often by the same person. It was the Golden Age of singer/songwriters, and Joni Mitchell was one of the best. We all played guitars then and sang of ending the […]
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.

Me And Mr. Bill!
I’m writing this as Fort Myers is experiencing a relatively mild summer (compared to the rest of the country’s astonishing heat, forest fires, and deluge of political ads) while getting enough rain to float all our boats. Lake Devonwood is almost up to our pool cage, and it’s only the […]
#WorkdayRising 2011 — Mostly Non-Software Observations
Aneel Bhusri and Dave Duffield, Workday Founders/Co-CEOs After several days in Vegas at Workday Rising, attending lots of sessions (including one I did with Leighanne Levensaler, VP for HCM product strategy, in which she did the play by play and I did the color, “what’s behind the mirror,” commentary on a series of strategic business scenarios) plus […]
Impressions From HR Technology Conference 2011
Ooooogah! Oooooogah! I’m exhausted but energized, if it’s actually possible to be in both states at once. I’ll leave it to others to do both the play by play and color commentary, neither of which is my forte. But I do want to summarize my key learnings in case they’re useful for others. I also […]
