Information 2015: Reforming the paradigm
Organizations need the right information at the right time to make accurate decisions and to optimize business processes. Yet the role of information, and the way an organization’s employees interact with that information, is rapidly changing. With this continuous challenge to established paradigms, organizations need to rethink their whole approach to information management if they are to remain innovative and competitive.
Working with forecasting consultancy Z_punkt Accenture evaluates the key trends that will shape information practices in the near future and provides thought-provoking insight into how organizations might successfully manage information as a means to achieve high performance.

5 Steps to Embrace the Consumerized Workforce: Finding Ways to Balance IT Risk and Productivity
While tools such as Web 2.0 applications, IM, P2P and portable USB media can be great for business innovation and productivity, they can introduce significant risks when not managed properly. Unfortunately, too many organizations fall into two extremes when it comes to reining in these risks. On one end, very security-conscious organizations have reacted by simply banning these technologies — a practice quickly falling out of favor among line-of business leaders. And on the other end of the spectrum, many more practical organizations have chosen to develop acceptable-use policies for these tools without any real enforcement. To truly realize the benefits while curtailing the risks, organizations must find a way to strike a happy balance that allows for the safe use of new technologies

Technology Leaders Forecast Survey
On the heels of one of the most severe economic downturns of the last century, and amid a continued sluggish global economy, the DLA Piper Technology Leaders Forecast Survey found that industry leaders are confident of continued economic recovery and project moderately increased sales revenues for tech companies over the next six- to 12 months.
The survey, measuring the attitudes and perspectives of top executives within the technology industry, reveals that close to 85 percent of technology and venture capital executives believe the global economy is on a sustained path of economic recovery. This is a notable increase in confidence over the survey DLA Piper commissioned just six months ago, when 69 percent of technology leaders projected that an economic recovery was at hand.

The Current State of Performance Management and Career Development
In March/April 2010, Hewitt Associates surveyed human resources
professionals to learn about their current performance management
practices and career development programs. Responses from 193 employers
provide a picture of what they are doing in regard to performance
management and career development programs. These survey results provide
an overview of practices and prevalence in the blocking and tackling of
performance management and career development. They provide comparative
data to use when considering whether to modify a current approach.

Most executives pay lip service to the need for talent-driven innovation in their companies, but many aren't driving the hiring and retention initiatives required to make it happen. Why worry about this now, at a time when the job market remains weak and it's a buyer's market for talented people? Because one out of every two employees is thinking of leaving their company, and about 30% to 40% of the people who are thinking about leaving actually do leave, says Jeff Schwartz, a principal at Deloitte who leads the firm's talent management practice.

Turning Social Capital Into Financial Capital
Social media has the potential to dramatically improve the inner workings of every company. The interstitial connections can quickly cross business silos, inform decision making, educate people at all levels, and allow employees—especially new entrants—to pick up the natural rhythms of how people around them work. But only if the company allows access to social networks. And too many companies don’t.
Even the growing marketplace of enterprise-strength social media tools—often called “Enterprise 2.0” in homage to “Web 2.0,” another name for social media’s consumer-facing cousins—have been adopted by only a small fraction of companies today.

Getting more from your training programs
To improve results from training programs, executives must focus on what happens in the workplace before and after employees go to class.
Given how important skilled workers are, companies must do better at creating them. When senior leaders focus on making training work—and get personally involved—improvement can come rapidly. The content of the training itself is not the biggest issue, though many companies could certainly improve it (see sidebar, “Getting training content right”). The most significant improvements lie in rethinking the mindsets that employees and their leaders bring to training, as well as the environment they come back to afterward. These are tasks only senior leaders can take on.

Who Will Perform Your HRIS Implementation
By Clay Scroggin
Who Will Perform Your HRIS Implementation is as Important as the Software You Select
(HR) managers and staff go through a great amount of effort to find and select the Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS) that will best meet their needs. The problem is that they rarely apply enough effort into choosing who will implement the software. In any profession there are those with experience and those without, and there are those who are good at their jobs and those who are not. Unless you ask the right questions and demand information up front, you have no idea if the person installing your HR product has ever done so before or is qualified to handle your organization’s unique HR Information Systems requirements. It is extremely important that you put the same effort into picking who will handle the implementation that you applied to selecting your HRIS application.

Workforce Solutions Review
FEATURED IN THE OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2010 ISSUE: “HCM AND SUPPORTING TECHNOLOGIES ARE ESSENTIAL TO BUSINESS SUCCESS” We are living through times that will have a long-term impact on how organizations view human capital management. As we emerge (hopefully) from the worst economic recession since the Great Depression, new regulations, new business priorities, and even new human capital management models are emerging. Most importantly, the ability to quickly align human capital with delivery on business priorities is, in certain cases, becoming a necessary capability for businesses to survive. This issue examines and provides invaluable insight on how human capital management and supporting technologies can have a positive impact on business.
COMING IN THE DECEMBER/JANUARY 2011 ISSUE: “TALENT MANAGEMENT: HOT AND GETTING HOTTER!” This issue will feature key findings from three significant industry studies on the economy and the workforce. IBM will share results from its yet to be released study involving face-to-face interviews with more than 550 chief human resource officers and senior HR executives across 61 countries and 31 industries. Through candid conversations, these HR leaders shared their successes, setbacks and surprises with a focus on TM. Towers Watson also will share key findings backed by detailed and revealing data from a recent survey of more than 450 companies. They’ll look at the real trends, possibilities and pitfalls associated with talent management service delivery -- and offer a pragmatic, realistic blueprint for creating real and enduring results from your ongoing efforts. EquaTerra will offer another perspective on the issues facing global TM from a study they conducted with The Economist related to the top challenges and opportunities related to globalization and the impact on the workforce and talent management. Plus articles from Oracle, Saba, Aon Hewitt, Sonar6 and more. You won’t want to miss this issue, which also includes our Annual Buyer’s Guide.
