InFullBloom’s 4th Anniversary — Where To From Here?

By Naomi Bloom on November 11, 2013

Celebrating Our 2010 Anniversary Over Dinner In The Languedoc-Roussillon, France I launched my blog about 4 years ago, 11-8-2009.  In my wildest dreams, I never expected to attract so many loyal readers nor did I realize how much I would enjoy blogging.  I so wish new readers could start at the beginning because I’ve been writing […]

In Search Of HRM/HRMDS/HR Tech “Best” Practices: Istanbul To Vienna — Final Update

By Naomi Bloom on June 17, 2013

Istanbul Was Constantinople… In my first update from this amazing trip, I highlighted what we saw as outstanding performance by the concierge at The Ritz Carlton Istanbul in rescuing us when we got caught in the violent Taksim Park protests at the start of our vacation.  But the logistics of that rescue were small potatoes compared with […]

Istanbul Was Constantinople… From Our Hotel Window — Police Car Set Afire There’s an old sailor’s expression that “anyone can man the helm when the seas are calm.”  More than just in boating, this observation describes so many aspects of our work and personal lives.  When everything is going along as planned, when we’re not thrown any […]

Choice, Circumstance, Context: The Hilton Hotel & The Vagaries of the Customer Experience

By Paul Greenberg on September 12, 2011

By Bob Warfield on December 31, 2010

Recently, our family took a vacation and benefited from all kinds of information available for spur of the moment decisions from my iPad.  The silly thing was constantly out and being consulted for something, and it made a real difference to our trip.  I have no doubt that Graphic for Visualizing Your Competition (HT to […]
