Episode Description

The buzz: Crystal ball. Steve Jobs was loudly criticized for “A lot of times, people don’t know what they want until you show it to them.” Arrogant or not, he was in many ways correct. We in HR already know the problems in our workforce, but do we know what the future holds for solving HR challenges, which technologies and strategic practices will place HR at the leadership table, and how we should prepare for “Workforce 2020”? The experts speak. Mollie Lombardi, Aptitude Research Partners: “Pain don’t hurt” (Dalton in Roadhouse). Sharon Newton, hyperCision: “We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run” (Roy Amara). Mary Poppen, SAP SuccessFactors: “The best way to predict the future is to create it” (Peter Drucker). Sherryanne Meyer, ASUG: “Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts…Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.” (Shel Silverstein). Join us for Entering 2016: Got Resolutions? Want Change?
