A few weeks ago, I spent a weekend afternoon touring the new modern wing of the Art Institute of Chicago. Opened in May 2009 and designed by famed Italian architect Renzo Piano, it added 264,000 square feet to the building and houses the museum’s co…
After an extended lull following the Jan. 5 announcement that talent management vendor Authoria would join forces with recruitment specialist PeopleClick, the merger and acquisition market has picked up in a hurry.

As I watched the World Series conclude last month, I was struck by one comment in particular.

I got the following note from a Talent Management reader today.
Dear Mike
I read with interest your article on 'Ceasefire in the war for talent, published in March 2009. It really makes a very interesting point. But what would you say are the part…
To oil rig workers in the North Sea, monster 40-foot waves aren’t a bother.
In the cold waters between Scotland and Norway, harsh winter gales regularly create giant waves that buffet the massive steel platforms on which they work. No big deal; eng…
I was big fan of Hostess products in elementary school. Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Ho Hos were a staple of my lunchtime menu.
The usual bartering never managed to separate me from my lunch. There was no way I would trade my precious Ho Ho for your bo…
Wow - some great responses here and a great way to get the Talent Management Network started!
I agree with lots of the themes in this thread - focus on creating a change-competent organization, truly understand what social capital is and start expe…

While I believe there's a lot that HR has to do, I agree with the recommendations of other commenters: 1) make sure you understand what it will take to retain your "best and brightest" --- it's not all about comp; 2) pay attention the "solid core" -…
In a recession the key focus is always doing more with less. In April 09’s edition of Talent Management magazine, the Camden Consulting Group survey results on talent manager 2009 priorities show development and retention are key priorities:81% will…
The key is retention -- managers and HR need to focus on keeping the right people in the organisation. As soon as the upturn comes, top talent is going to start looking around for better opportunities, and since we know many companies have cut learn…
I think this is a great question. It is my belief that given the reprieve on the talent acquisition side of things talent managers can be more focused on knowing just what is the makeup is of their workforce and how does it align with the strategic…
My own professional interests are moving towards helping HR teams understand how to manage people and develop their organisations in a way that develops social capital.
This is about the contacts, relationships and conversations between people work…

Driven to Abstraction
A few weeks ago, I spent a weekend afternoon touring the new modern wing of the Art Institute of Chicago. Opened in May 2009 and designed by famed Italian architect Renzo Piano, it added 264,000 square feet to the building and houses the museum’s collection of modern and contemporary art and photography.
Piano did a remarkable job of creating a massive structure and filling it with light, creating an airy atmosphere to appreciate the works of contemporary artists. Sitting just a stone… Continue

Sunny With a Chance of Clouds
That’s a description of the theme we gave to the January 2010 issue of Talent Management magazine. Our goal was to put together a package of stories dedicated to exploring the strategies that will be core to successful talent management this year.
The central idea was that the gloom of 2009 is behind us, along with its turbulent business conditions and torrential job losses, and that things are looking up this year. While striking that hopeful note, we noted there are still gray clouds on the h… Continue

Forget Getting Things Right, Just Get Right with the World
As I watched the World Series conclude last month, I was struck by one comment in particular.
After the New York Yankees beat the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 6 to clinch the league title, Yankees team president Randy Levine reportedly said, “The Yankees won. The world is right again.”
First off, some background for those unfamiliar with, or unenthused about, baseball. Among professional sports teams — baseball, basketball, football or other — the New York Yankees hold the most titles: 27 wor… Continue

Wave Goodbye to Yesterday
To oil rig workers in the North Sea, monster 40-foot waves aren’t a bother.
In the cold waters between Scotland and Norway, harsh winter gales regularly create giant waves that buffet the massive steel platforms on which they work. No big deal; engineers designed rigs to withstand hurricane force winds.
That’s why it was such a surprise on New Year’s Day 1995 when workers on the Draupner rig, 100 miles off the coast of Norway, were hurriedly pulled from their posts and rushed inside. Shortly t… Continue
