As part of London’s Social Media Week we put on an event called Social Business – The Patchwork Elephant Revisited asking “What next for Social Business?”.  We were kindly sponsored by our friends here at CompareTheCloud.net and we introduced the event and the speakers in an earlier post.  The idea was to get 8 different […]

Content Management in the Social Age

Content Management in the Social Age

By Jeff Nolan on January 10, 2013

I read this interesting piece on the redesign of the Reuters website, one paragraph jumped out at me as a consequential observation affecting a wide array of companies today: Known internally as “Reuters Next,” the new reuters.com will be a “state of the art” offering with a redesigned front-end and a proprietary content management system […]

IBM Buys Kenexa — A Dramatization

By Naomi Bloom on August 27, 2012

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 […]

Making My Peace With Not Knowing / Following / Connecting / Clicking Through Etc.

By Naomi Bloom on April 9, 2012

As a toddler, I took great pride in being able to rattle off the names of all the Kittredges (Barry, Bobby, Eddy, Georgie, Chucky, Sydney, Al, Ralph and Adele), a large family who lived across from us on Somerset Street.  Later, it was important to me to have read every Nancy Drew mystery then every Agatha Christie then […]

Deliver Me From Today’s Hot Topics!

Deliver Me From Today’s Hot Topics!

By Naomi Bloom on April 2, 2012

It’s only April, barely the start of 2012′s vendor and industry conferences with their associated rebrandings, new positionings, exciting partnerships and product announcements, and I’m already tired of the constant drumbeat on mobile/social/big data/in-memory/analytics/consumerization etc. of enterprise HRM software.  When everybody’s talking about the same things — even if most vendors don’t have many to most of these […]

The Architecture of a Social Business

The Architecture of a Social Business

By Dion Hinchcliffe on March 14, 2012

Although I’m a technologist by trade, I’ve long been disabused of the notion that social business is first and foremost a technical discipline. While almost certainly a bit more art than science at the moment, it’s the human aspects of how social media changes the way we think and work that are ultimately the most […]

Impressions From HR Technology Conference 2011

Impressions From HR Technology Conference 2011

By Naomi Bloom on October 10, 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 […]

Vocabulary Shapes Our (Wishful) Thinking

This post was inspired by a Twitter exchange with a valued colleague after I tweeted that this might not be the best time to be a new buyer of Oracle PSFT/EBS HRMS given Oracle’s commitment to Fusion HCM as the next generation of these long-established product lines.  My colleague very correctly […]

Monaco To Paris With Twitterscope Up

By Naomi Bloom on June 5, 2011

Provence, Toujours Provence You’ll have noticed that my last post went up on May 3rd, shortly after we left for two weeks vacation.  Before I return to our regularly scheduled programming, to blogs on more or less professional topics, I wanted to say a few words about this vacation and its impact on my state of […]

HRM Software/Services Q1 Vendor Briefings — Capability Matters

HRM Software/Services Q1 Vendor Briefings — Capability Matters

By Naomi Bloom on March 28, 2011

HRM May Not Need Battlestar Galactica Capabilities My first post in this series focused on the importance of understanding the ambitions of HRM software/services vendors and the implications of those ambitions for buyers/investors/employees/the industry.  Next came a post focused on the different strategies of these same vendors, the many moving parts that must be addressed in […]
