Applications Integration — Financials And HR

Applications Integration — Financials And HR

By Naomi Bloom on January 8, 2014

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about both business and applications integration.  You may have read my modest rant on the bastardization of the term integration as used to describe how applications are connected.  You also may have seen my videocast comments on the reasons why I think that your HRMS and core talent management applications […]

HRM Analytics  — Dashboards, Cockpits And Mission Control

HRM Analytics — Dashboards, Cockpits And Mission Control

By Naomi Bloom on May 20, 2013

[Many of you know that my husband, Ron Wallace, was a mission manager at NASA for international Search and Rescue Programs (official program name COSPAS/SARSAT) until he took early retirement in 1999 so that we could relocate to our present home in Fort Myers, FL.  We were both fascinated by all things spacey, and continue […]

Driving Business Outcomes — Vocabulary Shapes Our Thinking On Analytics

Driving Business Outcomes — Vocabulary Shapes Our Thinking On Analytics

By Naomi Bloom on April 30, 2012

The Yiddish Of My Youth Still Shapes My Thinking In a previous post, I focused on the most fundamental metrics for measuring the impact of changes in HRM, presumably intended as improvements, on revenues and profitability.  Hopefully, I succeeded in offering no-nonsense, strictly financial metrics.  Focusing on changes in revenues and profitability per agreed measures of workforce effort provides a […]

Reprise — The Road From HRM To Business Results Is Littered With Misguided Metrics

Reprise — The Road From HRM To Business Results Is Littered With Misguided Metrics

By Naomi Bloom on March 27, 2012

[I published a post addressing this topic right after I launched my blog 11/9/2009, and I never expected to address this topic again.  Surely by now, I would have thought that we’d have broad agreement on how to measure the impact of HRM on business outcomes.  But I had few readers in the beginning, and there’s […]

Is SHRM Listening?

Is SHRM Listening?

By Naomi Bloom on November 10, 2010

SHRM — Are You Listening? Forty years on, and we’re still talking about organizational readiness for strategic HRM (of which talent management is a large piece).  Boring!  The time for action is long past.  SHRM, are you listening? Why the hell isn’t your critical HRM data (e.g. positions, jobs, KSAOCs, worker, organizational structures, etc.) in […]

Event Report — Workday Technology Summit 8-23-2010 — Humongous Post

By Naomi Bloom on August 24, 2010

Workday held a briefing yesterday for twenty of enterprise software’s toughest and most knowledgeable analysts.  Workday had much more to say about their technology and business strategy, about their underlying architecture and object model, and about what’s cooking in the Lab than they’ve revealed thus far to this type of audience.  Even a few surprises […]

SuccessFactors Acquires Inform: What’s The Real Issue Here?

SuccessFactors Acquires Inform: What’s The Real Issue Here?

By Naomi Bloom on February 15, 2010

There’s been some terrific discussion in the blogosphere about SuccessFactor’s recent acquisition of Inform, and I won’t repeat here what Ventana Research, Knowledge Infusion OnDemand and others have had to say about what looks like a smart move for SuccessFactors and a potentially important contribution to HR’s ongoing quest for the “holy grail” of actionable […]
