Building Organizations That Leverage Collaborative Technologies:
Transforming a Century of HR Assumptions and Practices
Tamara J. Erickson, international expert on collaboration and innovation, blogger
and author of the recently completed trilogy of books: Retire Retirement:
Career Strategies for the Boomer Generation; What’s Next, Gen X? Keeping Up, Moving
Ahead and Getting the Career You Want; and Plugged In: The Generation Y Guide
to Thriving at Work
Wednesday, September 29 • 8:45 - 10 a.m.
We are surrounded by new collaborative technologies that are hard to leverage in organizations designed for another era. Their well-established norms are opposite to the characteristics required for effective collaborative organizations today. Tamara J. Erickson, a McKinsey Award-winning author, will explore assumptions behind many HR practices, showing why approaches well-suited to an industrial economy are hampering our efforts to leverage intelligence today. She’ll share the results of a major research initiative to identify practices that will allow all organizations to take advantage of collaborative technologies, including yours.
The Great Technology Debate:
Naomi Lee Bloom and Jim Holincheck
Naomi Lee Bloom, Managing Partner, Bloom & Wallace
Jim Holincheck, Managing VP, Finance, HCM and Procurement, Gartner
Thursday, September 30 • 8:45 - 10 a.m.
Yes, the world’s two leading experts on HR technology – and the longest veterans of our renowned former Analyst Panel – will face off on the hottest issues of the day. If held today, it might include such issues as how PeopleSoft Enterprise and Oracle EBS customers should think about their application strategy – especially after seeing Oracle’s demo of its next generation HCM the afternoon before. What is “true” SaaS and does it matter? Will it be the only form of service delivery in the future? Have organizations been implementing Talent Management the right or the wrong way? What is the real deal with Workforce Analytics and Planning? But who can really say what the questions will be in September? Come find out and even ask one yourself!
Awesome New Technologies for HR
Thursday, September 30 • 4 - 5:15 p.m.
It had to happen. Our most popular breakout session for the past three years has grown into a general session and been renamed: abandoning the baby boomers’ favorite adjective “Cool” to take on the cloak of the millennial’s “Awesome.” But its purpose remains the same: To blow your mind (ah, boomer talk again) with live demos of the most awesome new HR software products we can find in all categories. HR software vendors from around the world are sending us their launch announcements weekly and giving us WebEx demonstrations. But we don’t end the search until early September, when the Final Four (or five) products will be announced. Some may be bleeding edge, but others will be available immediately to help you get the job done in ways you might never have imagined.
Keeping Talent Management Simple
Marc Effron, President of The Talent Strategy Group and co-author of his third book,

Marc Effron, a former global leader at Hewitt who has worked for and consulted with some of the world's largest and most successful companies, will show you how to revolutionize the way your company grows and engages talent. Based on classic behavioral science, the One Page Talent system eliminates complexity and adds value to your talent-building and to the systems you may already have in place. The result? Simple, easy-to-use processes that build better talent faster.
