HR Technology

5 years of conferences

Today is my last day at Gartner.

By Thomas Otter on May 10, 2013

Today is my last day at Gartner. The last 5 1/2 years have flown by. I have learnt more than I imagined I could, and probably forgotten more too.

By Thomas Otter on August 7, 2012

Gosh. I’m very pleased, read ecstatic,  that I’m not going to Vegas for what seems like the 400th time.  I get to go to Chicago, Chicago, that wonderful town. For the past few years I’ve gone to HR tech I have managed to largely lurk in the background. This year I have a couple of speaking […]

Can Big Data Predict Your Future Stars?

By Jason Corsello on February 21, 2012
