Highlights of the Upcoming HR Technology® Conference
Competing on Analytics: How Business Intelligence Drives Performance
Business-strategy analyst and thought leader Tom Davenport, author of the new book, Competing on Analytics: The New Science of Winning from the Harvard Business School Press, will explain in the opening keynote how leading firms and their HR departments are basing their competitive strategies on the sophisticated analysis of business data. While analytics alone is certainly heavy lifting, Davenport, will describe how their capability goes well beyond data and technology to address the processes, skills and cultures of organizations. Many of his insights are based on his recent research on firms that compete on the basis of their analytical prowess, and Davenport will provide guidelines for how HR leaders can adopt similar approaches in their organizations. Davenport is author and co-author of a dozen other best-selling books, including The Attention Economy; one-time director of research centers at McKinsey and Accenture; and a former teacher at Harvard Business School, University of Chicago and Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business. What Are the Top HR and Training Products of '07
For more than 19 years, Human Resource Executive® has recognized excellence and innovation in the HR vendor community with its Top 10 HR Products and Top Training Products awards. HR's most coveted product awards are now presented every year on the opening day of the conference. Following the awards presentation, attendees will be treated to some corporate humor by comedian Greg Schwem, who will offer a light-hearted look at the HR profession, technology and the way business is conducted today. First Integrated Performance & Recruiting Shootout
Attendees will have a chance to see back-to-back demonstrations of two critical talent-management applications (whose integration is often overlooked) -- performance management and recruiting -- and then vote for their favorite. Vendors will include Authoria, Vurv and others. Cool New Tools for Corporate Recruiters
In the world of recruiting, no one is more respected as a technology thought leader, critic and skeptic than Gerry Crispin, co-founder of CareerXRoads. For this year's conference, he is assembling the coolest new bleeding-edge tools he can find that recruiters are using (or should be using) today to meet their greatest challenge in the new "war for talent" -- sourcing warm bodies for cold seats. The tools, being selected right up until show time, might include those HR leaders know or have heard of -- such as LinkedIn, FaceBook and My Space -- but more likely will be brand new to most HR leaders. Attendees will see live demonstrations of how each one works, and then Crispin's co-presenters, including JobMachine's Sally Steckerl, will tear apart what they've just seen and explain which ones they think HR departments should be using and exactly for what. Everything HR Leaders Need to Know About the Talent-Management Suite
Talent management is the term on everyone's lips in human resources these days. The hype around the integrated talent-management suite and its proposed benefits is almost overpowering. But what does it really mean? What are the vendors actually delivering? And how can it help you get your job done? Analyst Leighanne Levensaler of Bersin & Associates will have finished by October what may be the most comprehensive study of the field ever done and will separate fact from hype, and tell attendees what's really going on. Industry Analyst Panelists Offer Their Forecasts
This is the only public conference to bring leading industry analysts together -- Gartner, Forrester, IDC, Yankee, AMR and Naomi Lee Bloom -- to help attendees plan their strategies by hearing thoughts and predictions on key technology trends. Attendees will also have an opportunity for free one-on-one consulting sessions with the panelists.
