It’s official. We are halfway through class this semester, and I’m not sure I’ve made the same connections with these students that I have in the past. Are they connecting with the material? Have I changed the curriculum too much that it’s less engaging? At this point, I’m not sure, but time will tell.
Fortunately, we had Taleo come to class today to share their mid-market product Business Edition. The demo was wonderful, and illustrated how Taleo has evolved from its ATS roots to become a more complete Talent Management solution with its onboarding, performance, and compensation modules. I anticipate that Taleo will continue to build on its platform with more solutions. The class appeared engaged and seemed to enjoy the demo. Blogs will tell whether or not the class enjoyed it as much as I did.
We also started talking about the importance of problem identification, delivery model, technology, and security when evaluating HR software. On top of that, we reviewed the importance of identifies keys or unique identifiers of data and the concept of system of record, critical concepts integral in any problem solving scenario. We closed with a demo of survey monkey and illustrated how usable technology can assist with the data capture problem as well as a glimpse into usable hr software of the future.
Remember: business strategy leads to people strategy which leads to hr technology strategy. This strategy needs to be implemented with a problem centric, project management, and change management discipline.
Looking forward to another week of learning with everyone’s blogs. Over and out! Till next week.
