HREvolution Session Notes

Topics: HRExaminer, John Sumser, The Go/The-Know, by John Sumser
I remain a little befuddled about the strengths and weaknesses of the Bersin Impact Show and HRevolution. The two events combined give you a really clear picture of what is right and what is wrong in contemporary HR.  Where Bersin’s event is a clear example of using data to drive credibility, the HRevolution folks do […]
 

Criticality and Workforce Strategy

Topics: Editorial Advisory Board, HRExaminer, Neil McCormick, by Neil McCormick

Topics: John Sumser, Top 25 Talent Management, by John Sumser
On Wednesday we published the third version of our list, The HRExaminer Top 25 Online Influencers in Talent Management. These are the people who generate content and build audiences on the subject of Talent Management and are making their presence known from Google to Facebook and back. There are stalwarts and newcomers, frenetic content generators, connectors and self promoters. They don&#39’t all have street cred (though many do) but one thing they do have in common is a voice.
 

The Marketing Conversation

Topics: HRExaminer, John Sumser, More2Know, The Go/The-Know, by John Sumser
When you look at the majority of the material that flows from the marketing departments of our industry, you have to wonder if the idea that ‘markets are conversations’ ever penetrated our world. Loud shouting and ridiculous claims drown out any possibility of nuanced conversation. It is completely impossible to tell the difference between one vendor’s claims and the next.

The re-branding of StepStone Solutions to Lemesse, designed to communicate the operation’s independence (through a management buy out) from the fabled European Job Board, is symbolic of an inflection point in Lumesse’s trajectory.

Topics: HRExaminer, John Sumser, More2Know, by John Sumser
I’ve been writing about the Human Capital Industry for most of two decades. Over that time, I’ve made a lot of forecasts and predictions. A surprising number of them were right on target. Unfortunately, a fair number were way, way off. What about my predictions for the death of the resume?
