Ever been to a conference, sat in a great session and, towards the end of the session thought, "man...I would sure love this session to continue"? 

Last week at the HR Technology Conference, Jason Averbook, CEO of Knowledge Infusion, hosted a session called "The Talent Management Panel" with some of the leading thinkers/practioners in HCM technology including:

• Liviu Dedes, VP Organizational and Leadership Development, Aramark

• Valerie Norvell, VP Training and Development, Luxottica/Sunglass Hut

• Nickolas Nyhus, VP Workforce Planning & HR Compliance, Ameriprise Financial

• Bryon D. Abramowitz, VP, Enterprise Services, Leo Burnett Worldwide, Inc.

• Mary Ruiz, VP HR Technology and Processes, Yahoo!

As many were walking out of the room, the theme was consistent, "that could have kept going for a couple of hours".  Well...I'm going to attempt to keep it going.  With our Center of Excellence (COE) launch last week, we have created a community called "Talent Management" where we will be extending the discussion with the panelists.  Click here to access the discussion (one caveat, you must be a registered member of the COE  but don't worry, its free).  Feel free to also reply to the discussion or create a new discussion.  Let's keep the dialogue rolling!
