I had the opportunity last week to be a guest on The Bill Kutik Radio Show with my colleage at Knowledge Infusion, Jason Corsello.  As we are in the last week of 2009, I wanted to be sure to call your attention to the radio show as we had a great conversation about many of the things occuring in the industry today that will effect each of us in the HR and Talent Management technology space as we enter 2010.

A few of the topics that we discussed and some of the quotes that you will not want to miss:

• Discussion on the future of jobs and if/when they will come back...."organizations will have to get used to the fact that many of the jobs lost will not be coming back and many will have to do more with less for years to come"

• Discussion on Oracle Fusion and when/if will make impact in the HR technology space..."Oracle Fusion should already be making an impact for all Oracle and PeopleSoft customers as one of the leading middleware products in the world.  Too many organizations are caught up in the application aspect of Fusion and not thinking of the integration advantages available to them"

• Discussion on Software as a Service vendors and how they are impacting the HR technology market..."There is no doubt that Software as a Service has arrived as a delivery model for HR and Talent Management technology; unfortunately, most vendors are delivering Saa and not delivering the Service along with this revolutionary delivery model"

On behalf of the entire HR and Talent Management community, I want to thank Bill Kutik for his great work over the last two years delivering 45 great pieces of content in the form of the radio show to the marketplace.  We look forward to many additional shows into the future.

Human Resource Executive had a great piece last week written by Knowledge Infusion's Vice President, Jason Corsello.  

An excerpt:

By all indications, the talent-management technology market shows no signs of weakening from its hyper-growth status. The demand for applications in recruitment, performance management and succession management -- both for stand-alone products as well as those bundled into "suites" from a single vendor -- remains as strong as ever.

However, although the market is booming, mass confusion permeates the market regarding the question of just what talent management truly is. Almost every product and service associated with HR today is sold and branded under the term "talent management," in an attempt to ride the latest wave of hype, excitement and growth. Yet the result has led to confused buyers, unsure of their approach, strategy and ultimate success factors for talent management.

Thanks Jason on behalf of the entire industry including the Knowledge Infusion community for continuing to drive innovation and thought leadership.
