[http://knowledgeinfusion.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/ki1_4.jpg]When I first heard that Time Magazine named US, yes each of us, the person of the year, I thought it was quite a cop out.  I had to read more to understand how with such a year 2006 has been, the magazine couldn't find a single person to name.  The more I thought about it, the more it made sense to me and I think it is something we all can learn from as we write our goals for 2007 especially in our space of HR and HCM technologies.

During 2007, if each of us takes a few minutes each day to ask how we can impact the organizational goals of the institution we work for, the world of HR will change forever.  I would say that 2006 has been the year for many organizations, more than I have seen in my 15 years in this space, but I predict 2007 will even have a larger impact as more organizations focus on workforce analytics and metrics, talent management, and organizational effectiveness.  If we all focus on tying our technology initiatives and aligning them to our respective organizations, in 2007 HR will truly begin to raise itself as Organization of the Year in most companies.

Take a read of Time and begin your goals for 2007.  YOU and only YOU can impact YOUR strategy in the upcoming year.
