Hidden Talent
As some of you know from my tweets, I tap danced last night as part of a very special adaptation of a classic Fibber McGee and Molly radio show at our annual fundraiser, Radio Daze: OnStage With Florida Rep. It was quite a night, a successful and really fun evening, with many thanks to the […]
Smart Machines/Robotics — Implications For HRM/HRTech — Where Do I Begin?
Hi, I’m Naomi, Your HR Tech SmartyPants Robot Last week I was privileged to deliver a presentation to the top women execs at ADP about the future of HR and HR technology.

My 2014 And Beyond Wish List For HRM And HR Technology
[I posted my first such wish list 1/29/2013, and just writing it lifted my spirits. So, I thought to myself, why not do it again?] Carnac In Bloom If any of us really knew what was going to happen in 2014, wouldn’t we keep it to ourselves and invest accordingly? Furthermore, anyone worth their salt in […]
My 2013 And Beyond Wish List For HRM And HR Technology
Never mind trying to make meaningful predictions, which are very hard to do safely when you’re under a zillion NDAs. Instead, I’m focusing my energies on what I want to happen.

Reflections On A Long Career — Part I
“If I could turn back time” I’m a year older than Cher, and we would both “turn back time” if we could. Who wouldn’t? We also share having had a very long career — if nothing else — and mine is still in high gear. But it’s about what it takes to develop and sustain a long […]
Eight Characteristics Of Effective HRM And HRM Delivery Systems
In my last post, I told some all too typical business stories in which it was easy to recognize, in situ, really bad HRM policies and practices, HRM service delivery and HR technology use. Every manager has their own favorite such tales of woe, and my HR practitioner colleagues are awash in the fallout from such […]
Impressions From HR Technology Conference 2011
Ooooogah! Oooooogah! I’m exhausted but energized, if it’s actually possible to be in both states at once. I’ll leave it to others to do both the play by play and color commentary, neither of which is my forte. But I do want to summarize my key learnings in case they’re useful for others. I also […]
So You Think You’re An HRM Business Analyst/Product Strategist?
A Business Analyst’s Work Is Never Done As many of you know, I’ve worked extensively with HRM product strategy/product management leaders as they envision and then specify the capabilities of their HRM software products and related outsourcing services. But as our industry has moved from Victorian novel specifications to object model-based expressions of desired functionality, […]
Free Agent Nation: Nail Tech Tales
Nail Tech Tales When Daniel Pink’s now classic “Free Agent Nation” was published in 2001, it brought to public attention the world in which I had been living for much of my professional life.
