Winning the battle for technology talent
The right technology talent can be hard to find. But executives can learn from the ways in which leading IT organizations develop, retain, and recruit good people
Even with unemployment hovering close to 10 percent in many countries, a remarkable number of CIOs and CTOs we know are having a hard time finding and retaining the talent necessary not only to extract value from investments in such areas as big data and enterprise mobility, but also to undertake everyday IT operations with the required quality, security, and efficiency. These executives are also struggling to get the most out of their existing talent. While they have staff with specific IT skills, they often lack stars who can solve thorny problems that span multiple technology domains and engage business managers on topics such as technology innovation.
The Project Manager’s Survival Guide to Politics
Politics is an inevitable reality in organizational life. It is the fuel
that drives organizational functioning. It is how things get done.
That said, mention the word “politics” to someone and ask them what they think of it, and you’ll get a litany of negative characteristics in response: “taking advantage”, “working the system”, “manipulating”, “back scratching”, “brown-nosing” and worse. When we mention politics, we see it as the worst of human behavior. And yet, politics encompasses all of human behavior.
Transforming Business Analytics Across the Enterprise
This Guide demonstrates through facts and examples that the widely expressed anxieties in the analytics industry about the arrival of massive data sets, the inclusion of many more users, and the addition of variable data types are overwrought. Concerns raised about how so-called Big Data can undermine an analytics data warehouse’s performance and scalability are simply not true. This is not to say there are no challenges in building out a responsive, comprehensive, and scalable analytics data warehouse. There are. But in every case presented here, those challenges have been met and surpassed.
The Guide presents proof points of how companies have successfully extended analytics deep into their operations across a range of industries. It discusses research studies into the value of analytics, but more importantly, it presents numerous case studies on the significant ROI of analytics within enterprises, especially those dealing with growing data sets, expanding user populations, differing data types, rising workloads, and increasing ad hoc queries.
Insights from the Cisco IBSG Horizons Study
Findings from the Cisco IBSG Horizons Study of 600 U.S. IT and business leaders that shows IT is accepting, and in some cases embracing, "bring your own device" (BYOD) as a reality in the enterprise. The study shows some of the quantifiable benefits and complexities associated with allowing employees to use their own mobile devices on their employers' networks.
The study found most organizations are now enabling BYOD in the enterprise, with a staggering 95% of respondents saying their organizations permit employee-owned devices in some way, shape or form in the workplace. This study also concluded that the average number of connected devices per knowledge worker is expected to reach 3.3 by 2014,up from an average of 2.8 in 2012.
With 62% already allowing personal devices at work, IT’s juggling laptop policies and Wi-Fi policies and BYOD policies—and that means security gaps big enough to drive a semi through. Most, 80%, require only passwords for mobile devices that access enterprise data/networks, yet just 14%require hardware encryption, no exceptions. Let’s be clear: Mobile security is data security, and we must do better.
The Value of a Learning Management Compliance Solution
Companies spend millions each year conducting mandatory training. Whether triggered by an audit, the risk of non-compliance, bad PR, or internal training requirements, achieving compliance can be difficult and costly. One of the biggest challenges that organizations face today is reducing costs from fines and lawsuits.
This paper explains how a learning management compliance solution can help manage an organization’s compliance requirements. The solution helps organizations manage and track compliance, relieving the headache of being ready for internal or external audits.

Workforce Solutions Review - Don’t miss the next issue of IHRIM’s Workforce Solutions Review focusing on Leading Practices
June/July 2012 - This issue focuses on Leading Practices and features the Mid-Year Buyer’s Guide. “Leading Practice” or “Best Practice”? Or do you simply prefer “Our Practice”? For years experts, pundits, and practitioners have argued the term. Even here at WSR we’ve used the term interchangeably in our discussions with each editor having a preference. For this issue of the Workforce Solutions Review we decided to call it our “Leading Practice” issue, but as you read through the articles you’ll likely see all the terms used depending on the author. Some of our feature article topics include Building Leading Practices into Your HCM Processes and Technologies, How Leading Practices affect HR Compliance, and Barriers and Drivers in the Evolution of Talent Management into a Decision Science.
Our columns include an article about how Adaptive Case Management is used at Fujitsu America, Inc., an article that describes why smartphones are essential in helping to curb costs and improve employees knowledge of health benefits and choices, all from the palm of their hands, plus Nick Garbis gives us a rundown on how he was able to implement and improve workforce planning at GE Energy…and he provides some great advice on how you, too, can do this in your organization and succeed.
August/September 2012 Issue - The theme for our August/September issue is “Change.” We have lined up a number of industry experts including Ken Oehler and Paul Rubenstein from Aon Hewitt, Lawrence Jones, Stephen Joyce and Stephanie Marcus from The Hackett Group, Marian Stetson-Rodriquez, President, Charis Intercultural Training Corp. and others to provide our readers with insights, ideas and analysis of the implications of change. Topics that will be covered in this issue include organizational change, changing technology landscape, HR outsourcing, HR transformation, globalization and the multidimensional workforce.
