Perhaps it was because I’m Chinese American and my Chinese parents were rather crazed about education. I did graduate high school with a 4.2 GPA and considered myself an academic failure (still do in fact). My parents used to threaten us that our grades and other bad things we did would go on our permanent…

Every now and then, I’m parked at a mall, convention center, airport, and I ask myself, “now where did I park my car? OK, so I don’t lose my car that often, but on occasion it happens. OK, I’m not at the mall or convention center that often either. At any rate, the appropriate action…

HR Social Media – A sytematicHR Case Study
.
I should probably congratulate the readership of this blog. For CedarCrestone’s annual technology survey, we created one of the largest populations of viable, usable submissions out of any social media outlet that the survey used. (Note that this post was written a few years ago and never published. I was never going to publish this,…

An interesting thing happened at the recent HR Technology Conference. During Naomi Bloom’s “Master Panel,” when Mike Capone noted that ADP had the first SaaS application, before anyone else and before anyone called it SaaS, many of my compatriots on twitter decided to tweet this statement. I have no issues with announcing to the world…

The 2012 HR Technology Conference is Coming!!!
.
I was visiting a Hari Krishna temple yesterday, but it didn’t open at all times. Tourists and visitors had to go in during services hours, and in my case, there were a good 1000 people in queue for this particular temple/time combination. When the doors finally opened, I was amazed at the pushing going on,…

The Butterfly Effect
.
In 1972, Edward Lorenz wrote a paper called “Predictability: Does the Flap of a Butterfly’s Wings in Brazil set off a Tornado in Texas?” In this paper, the flapping of a butterfly’s wings, a minute, very low mass, and quite insignificant action, represents a small initial and remote condition that can lead to major downstream…

Defining Web 2.0
.
It’s probably long past time to write some definitions. In fact, I’ve done this before, probably every time I write a post about Web 2.0. A few years ago, I said that Web 2.0 would not be on the radar screens of HR for a couple of years, and sure enough, the last couple of…

Inspiration or Engagement?
.
I’ve been away for a little while. No, I have not been on vacation, or away from the country. I’ve just not been writing. I don’t know if other bloggers have this problem, but I don’t bother writing if I’m not “inspired.” To be honest, I’ve faced this a few times in my career, and…

5 Year Post
.
Can you believe it’s been five years? I recently read my first post and actually thought it was an ok analysis of HRO vendors at the time. Pretty funny to me how much things have changed, but also how much I’ve learned both through work and the blog. I spent 2009 writing much less than…

Year End Post and Site Redesign
.
Since I figure the great majority of you are reading me on email, Google Reader or some other mechanism that allows you to never visit the site (I do it myself, certainly it’s not a criticism – lucky if I ever read an RSS feed on my PC instead of the blackberry), I thought I’d…

An apology to the readers of systematicHR
.
Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been using MS Word to type my blog entries, then using the copy-paste function to get the text into systematcHR. Along with text, a simple copy-paste also brings an abundance of formatting with it, that the blog and most HTML readers will not read. This has cause the…

Talentism.com is Back
.
This is just a general announcement for those who may have taken talentism.com off their feed readers (like I did). This is one of the smartest and thoughtful blogs in the blogosphere, and I’m so extremely peased he’s back after a too long sabatical. For readers of systematicHR, if you like my blog, you’ll love…

Transitions
.
Soul searching is always an interesting time. Whether it’s deciding what priorities there are in your HR department as you attempt to polish off any remaining budget you have for 2008, knowing that little budget will exist in 2009, or if it’s something much simpler like deciding whether to continue a popular blog. I’ve predicted…

State of the Blog
.
On systematicHR’s third anniversary, I suppose it’s fitting to do a state of the blog. The basics are rather easy. Over 700 posts on a variety of topics in HR strategy and technology, and over 1700 comments. This is of course excluding the 250,000 spam comments that I so luckily have software and services filtering…

Happy Holidays (systematicHR on a break)
.
Thanks for reading this year. systematicHR is coming around towards its 3rd anniversary on the web, and there are more readers than ever before. I’ve never taken a break, even when on vacation, the site keeps plugging away. However, this year I think I’ll take a pause for 3 weeks through the holidays. I wish…

Second Again
.
The first installation of the HR Blog Power Ratings are out (by the HR Capitalist) and systematicHR came in at second on the list. We never seem to win these things, but that’s ok. systematicHR has a great readership and the simple fact that the “Power Ratings” indicates that we have content that the surveyors…

2 Years – A Self Proclaimed systematicHR Love-Fest

Yup, my first post on the HR Technology Discussion Board was 2 years ago today and I’ve posted over 500 times since then. You have also written over 1000 comments. About 2000 of you read this site directly on a daily basis, and we’re syndicated on sites such as “The Industry Radar” where we created…
