Objects To The Left Of Us, Objects To The Right

Persistent HRM Object Model Errors Part I — Job And Position

By Naomi Bloom on February 3, 2015

My 2014 And Beyond Wish List For HRM And HR Technology

By Naomi Bloom on January 15, 2014

[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 […]

Celebrating Our 2010 Anniversary Over Dinner In The Languedoc-Roussillon, France I launched my blog about 4 years ago, 11-8-2009.  In my wildest dreams, I never expected to attract so many loyal readers nor did I realize how much I would enjoy blogging.  I so wish new readers could start at the beginning because I’ve been writing […]

SAP, SAP, Wherefore Art Thou SAP?

By Naomi Bloom on May 28, 2013

SAP Founders 1988 — Klaus Tschira On The Left I’ve always had a warm spot in my heart for SAP.  When I published my first (and thus far only) 700+ page book in 1994 (“Human Resource Management and Information Technology: Achieving A Strategy Partnership”), Klaus Tschira, one of SAP’s founders, became a big fan of my […]

I’m Feeling Optimistic About The State Of HR Technology!

By Naomi Bloom on April 11, 2013

Naomi and Ron, The Way We Were [ We’ve been revising our business strategy, mix of clients, project types, and so much more on a regular basis since 1987, but this is the first time we’ve made such changes in the era of social tech.  My own view is that we should be as transparent online […]
