I write this in the usual place – the airplane. I’m in a window seat, so I’m only surrounded on three sides. The guy in front of me has decided that all the stuff he does not want should not go in front of him, but that “out of sight, out of mind” is...

I don’t know about the rest of you, but pretty much every time I receive a notification about farmville or gangster wars on Facebook, I pretty want to shoot the senders. If they are nieces or nephews, they get some allowances for being kids. But when I get literally 5 or 6 notifications in...

Many of the people I know have watched a film called “Up in the Air.” Indeed, I suppose it was a popular file garnering several Oscar nominations. (I have no idea if it won anything as I don’t watch the Oscars.) Several people have told me how personal the film was, and other than...

I’m sitting (almost) next to a guy who works for Yelp. He just did a pretty interesting tutorial to the person in the middle seat1 about some interesting features in Yelp. I at least didn’t know about some of these, but the most interesting of which is a little click box above the Google...
Just a few short years ago, it really seemed like the vendor space was leading the market with all sorts of great new functionality and new ways to think about the world. After all, what would we have done if SoftScape had not coined the term “Talent Management”? (I’m pretty sure it was them,...
So you’re going to implement new job codes, or department codes, or whatever. Someone in the organization has a great idea: “let’s make the codes smart!” I mean, what better idea to manage the information within the code than to implant attributes within the code itself.

Not all of us have fancy business intelligence tools and cool dashboards with great graphs prepared for us in our business environments yet. If we’re lucky, we belong to organizations that have spent millions of dollars figuring out how to get us analytics when we log into self service environments. Or perhaps we have...
