Back in the first part of the millenium as talent applications started to get a…

Wharton: The Trade-off between Talent and Disruptive Behavior.

Hewitt for sale?
Somewhere in my last 100 posts I mentioned that Hewitt was in a fairly weak operational position and might be an aquisition target. I’ll have to admit that I didn’t really believe it, and honestly I still don’t. They are the undisputed leader in HRO at the moment, and their laser-like focus on this market…
