By Naomi Bloom on June 5, 2011

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?

In Search Of HRM/HRMDS/HR Tech “Best” Practices

In Search Of HRM/HRMDS/HR Tech “Best” Practices

By Naomi Bloom on November 8, 2010

Of the many reasons cited for outsourcing one or more HRM business processes as well as for making investments in HRM software, none is more susceptible to marketing hype than that outsourcing providers and software vendors deliver “best” practices in HRM.  The best HRM software, “out of the box,” may certainly deliver some good practices in […]

More Of Naomi’s “Killer” Scenarios: KSAOC-Centric Strategic HRM

More Of Naomi’s “Killer” Scenarios: KSAOC-Centric Strategic HRM

By Naomi Bloom on April 19, 2010

Figure 1: KSAOC-Centric, Strategic HRM One of the great debates in HR circles is over what is strategic and what is merely administrative with respect to human resource management (HRM) processes.  That which is strategic, often referred to as talent management, is considered worthy of executive attention, academic research, attendance at expensive conferences, and the writing […]
