Thanks for comment Bill. Agree that audience had opportunity.

Readers, feel free to ask questions here and post anonymous if you feel more comfortable.

Regarding quoting you, i would need an extra 2 hands to type that fast...

Another infusion of knowledge (and smarta**) humor..

Jesus, Jason, you are the fastest typist in HR land. The whole panel was only an hour, so I'll leave it to someone else to count your words, divide by 60 and figure out your words per minute. Legal typist speed, I'm sure.

The comment made about "paid by Oracle not to say anything" was simply dumb. As you know, Oracle has put a total lid on any facts about Fusion, and no one outside the company knows anything. Nevertheless, Leighanne Levansaler offered her best guesses on what might be in it, based on what is slated for EBS 12.1 and Enterprise 9.1.

In comparing those products' Talent Management abilities to the new suite vendors', she was politic in pointing out the positives: where EBS and Enterprise (as you accurately report) measure up to the best of Talent Management suites. She left it to the audience to decide her opinion on the power of the other applications not mentioned.

If someone wanted some arguments about "why stay with Oracle," they had four different opportunities to ask the panel that question. Likewise, about doing something today. If the audience is going to passive during a panel, they're not going to learn what they want. Sorry we couldn't read their minds.

But mostly, I'm hurt that you only quoted one thing I said on stage. And there was lots more.

Thanks for being there and bringing the content to a much larger audience.

Great article by Bill, Jason. I can relate to it on several levels:

~ As a fellow Bostonianwho has been impressed by the team both on and off the court all season.

~ As a felllow Celtics fan who has been impressed by the team both on and off the court all season.

~ As someone who believes wining organizations are indeed greater than the sum of their parts.

I was at the Red Sox game this past Friday night where the Celtics were honored by the fans and the team. The celebration was briefly interrupted by a rain delay. And for about 20 minutes a rainbow formed. From Fenway Park, it appeared that the rainbow could have easily ended at the Boston Garden where some of us joked there was a pot of gold, cigars, and Celtics pride.

Jason, I've attached a very interesting article from CNN.com about the impact that the gas prices are having on employees daily commute to work.....and how creative some companies HR departments are getting in response to their employees concerns. Many companies are switching to a rotating four day work week. But, as the article notes, Yahooo and Jobing.com certainly raised the bar in terms of creativity.

I am continuing to hear about cutting down on travel with airfares going up and the desire for more virtual workforce. What role will talent management software play there?

Great post Gireesh. What do you see today? HR is learning fast in this category and people like you are helping.

The future of Digital HR is here and that includes an emphasis on Social Networking/Software.

Everyday we see it being used more and more. you?

As speakers in the video have highlighted, Social Networking is going to change the HR in two ways - 1. offering immense opportunities to HR to connect to people who have the required skill (by looking at their blogs, profiles, and a large number of information available) 2. Offering 'candidates' ability to connect directly to their prospective bosses, share their acumen with those who require it etc. etc. etc.

And all this is going to revolutionize the way people work and look at their organization. Internet is offering choices to everybody! HR has to think - 'Am I one among the choices? Is my technology in-line?"

Jason, I think the impacts will be far and wide as the price of oil and gasoline continue to rise. One prediction had it hitting $5 by the end of the Summer. I can imagine managers in the workforce will start to receive call outs with the excuse that "I can't afford to come to work today." CNN Money just ran a story with the title "You're working for gas now." As for impacts on HR Tech, I can see a slow trickle down impact in the not so distant future. New technology spend may see a slight scale back but probably not an out right cut.
