Mobility disruption: A CIO perspective
Enterprise mobility is poised to fundamentally change the IT landscape. Here’s an overview of the opportunities and some early lessons on how to manage the associated security risks, costs, and organizational challenges.
Chief information officers are no strangers to change. Mainframes, personal computing, and the Internet have all transformed the world of business technology for both enterprises and technology vendors. Now, CIOs see the next disruption coming fast.
Mobility—rising from its humble beginnings—is on a roll, driven by ever-higher-performing smartphones, tablets, and other devices enabled by 3G and 4G networks, as well as an explosion of innovative applications. Indeed, we believe that enterprise IT is on the brink of a revolution that promises to boost productivity by expanding office functionality beyond the brick-and-mortar location. There are opportunities galore, but cost, governance, and security challenges must also be reckoned with.
The Anywhere Worker: Essential Tools to Keep Teams Connected
Take a minute to think about the people you’ve communicated with today.
You might have dealt with a freelance designer working out of his home
in Wisconsin. You might have traded emails with a business partner about
a deal that’s hatching in Europe. Maybe you collaborated with a virtual
team that joined an online meeting from their home computers, smart
phones, and tablets from different geographic areas and time zones all
around the world.
In this increasingly mobile world―where work is outsourced and international partnerships are formed quickly and easily― workers need to be able to collaborate with colleagues, share information, and access programs just as easily from a distant continent as from the cubicle next door.
Gartner Identifies the Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2013
Gartner defines a strategic technology as one with the potential for significant impact on the enterprise in the next three years. Factors that denote significant impact include a high potential for disruption to IT or the business, the need for a major dollar investment, or the risk of being late to adopt.
A strategic technology may be an existing technology that has matured and/or become suitable for a wider range of uses. It may also be an emerging technology that offers an opportunity for strategic business advantage for early adopters or with potential for significant market disruption in the next five years. These technologies impact the organization's long-term plans, programs and initiatives.
Social Media & Workplace Collaboration
2012 Latest Practices, Key Findings, Hottest Topics
Organizations are engaged in a complex balancing act concerning social media, as they weigh the competitive advantages while juggling issues of law, policy, and employee access. The impact of social media on business agility, the proliferation of innovative social applications for industry, and the bright spotlight on worker productivity and social technology are just a few of the vital considerations for companies, as they define their approaches to social media.
With all the “buzz” surrounding these topics, we at SilkRoad, wondered whether organizations really understand how their employees use social media at work. Do they know the “sweet spots” that might make social media an asset to the business—a way to engage employees and customers?

Five Ways to Prepare for SharePoint 2013
Editor's note: as a number of IHRIM member companies use SharePoint to manage information, share documents, collaborate within groups, and create their HR portal, we wanted to share this product specific document with our readers.
Many organizations are eagerly anticipating the next version of SharePoint, SharePoint 2013, which is expected in early 2013. But there’s more to do than just sit and wait: you can take concrete steps today to prepare your environment for the new release. Taking those steps will gain you immediate benefits in your current environment and ensure you are ready to quickly take advantage of new SharePoint 2013 features.
In this white paper, SharePoint expert Chris McNulty offers a SharePoint 2013 readiness plan that details five specific actions organizations should take to prepare their environment for the future.
Building Critical-Talent Pipelines
Top talent is today’s competitive differentiator that makes the difference between an organization that is thriving and one that is stagnant or declining. However, the impact of the roles performed by that talent is not identical across an organization. Some roles have a greater impact than others.
Companies in all industries have a set of critical roles: jobs that must be performed—and performed well—for the companies to succeed. These positions are not confined to leaders and executives. Critical positions may lie at the core of conducting everyday business or be central to long-term new product strategy. Companies that do not have the right people in critical jobs forfeit revenue growth, innovate more slowly, and/or lose competitive advantage because they are unable to adapt to market dynamics.
Organizations need to define, attract, and develop the right mix of critical talent to support and grow their businesses. To ensure a flow of the right talent for these roles over time, the best practice is for organizations to build critical-talent pipelines.

10+ challenges facing the 'international' CIO
Takeaway: IT leaders who are responsible for international operations face some extra issues, not all of which are tech-related. Here are some of the concerns you may encounter.
Companies that focus on cultivating employee engagement have seen firsthand the positive impact on employee retention, company performance and, ultimately, customer loyalty and satisfaction. Simply stated, they have learned that engaged employees have tremendous influence in positively affecting brand value.
To
learn more about global HR systems challenges and solutions, IHRIM offers
the following upcoming educational events:
October/November 2012 Issue – Stories are one of the ways that we pass along knowledge. Welcome to a Workforce Solutions Review issue that is dedicated to Practitioners sharing their knowledge through their experiences. With articles such as “What to do the Year Before Your Talent Management Suite Implementation” and “Is ‘do-it- yourself’ Best? How to Ensure Successful Human Resources Technology Implementations” followed by a discussion of the journey to select and implement an HRIS/ Payroll solution at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, you’ll find a wealth of information regarding system selection and implementation. Further to help your decision-making is an article that describes how your choice of a solution pre-determines some constraints on your implementation strategy. Choosing a SaaS solution vs. an “on-premise” solution has a direct impact on how you implement. Take a look at this column to see how this might play out for your organization. Then we have an article that shares pragmatic insights into what Talent Acquisition should be doing. It describes how recruiting, if focused on the right priorities, can enable HR to become a revenue generating function. Julie Stokes of Fluor Corporation shows how Fluor leveraged the right technology and Super User “champions” to involve employees as change ambassadors and systems educators, enabling IT to focus on hardware and software sustainment and innovation. Get the Practitioners’ perspectives on important issues in this edition of WSR.
December 2012 /January 2013 Issue – This issue of WSR is laser-focused on People – the underlying success factor or poison pill of all technology and process initiatives. Feature articles include an examination of the importance of trust in an organization and the impact it has on organizational effectiveness and project success, a collation of CHRO interviews about their perspective on HR technology and how it has or has not added value to their companies, and an informative perspective on enterprise connectivity and how important those solutions are to “managers without borders.” Additionally, our columns present coverage about leveraging MBTI (Myers Briggs) analysis as part of your project management approach to improve the probability of project success, data privacy from the people angle – how it is perceived on opposite sides of the pond based on ideological differences and what that means to us as HRIS professionals, and an article exploring why people issues in communication and culture are magnified across international boundaries and how to mitigate them. There’s no lack of thought-provoking information provided – we hope you enjoy WSR’s first ‘People’ issue!
