Much of my work over the past few months has been focused on helping several organizations get up and running with social media. Last week I was doing a debrief with one of my clients on how we'd used Facebook and Twitter to support an event and how the results weren't as successful as they'd hoped. There were multiple reasons for this, unconnected to the the technology, but one issue really stood out.

Recite this mantra when undertaking all employee engagement work. I was doing some work on the positive deviant perspective applied employee engagement when I came across a delightful and insightful line. I think we too often violate this mantra and end up unintentionally sowing the seeds of disengagement. Don’t do anything about me, without me.

Shhh.I have a secret. I have been practicing HR in my job as a professor for over 15 years. How so?

Dave’s a male HR executive living in the Midwest and I’m a working mom living in Munich employed by a California-based software company. We both have something to say about HR, however, and together we can say it louder.

Harold Jarche, like me , is reflecting on his recent attendance at conferences: I’ve been thinking about knowledge sharing, after attending a couple of conferences in a row and heading off to another. One thing missing in these discrete time-based events is that there is litle time for reflection. Most presenters hold back their knowledge in order to “deliver” it just before the big official presentation.

'One of the things we talked about at the Connecting HR unconference was who are the social influencers? – the people who are influencing UK HR through social means in the new social world, rather than just through hierarchical power, as in the traditional structures of the present but maybe soon, the past. We didn’t get that many more names , so I’m not sure how much publicity we can get for this list, but I thought it triggered some interesting conversations.

Modern go-to-market teams know it takes more than one email to break through the noise. Multiple touchpoints means more ways to get your pitch right — and, potentially, more ways to be wrong. The good news? Once you know how to write compelling, one-off emails to entice prospective customers, you can easily do the same across a short sequence of emails.

'In a previous post I wrote about designing a new compensation product for a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) software solution but I didn''t explain what SaaS is or why it has business relevance. SaaS is basically a delivery model of business software that lets people use software over the Internet without installing it. A fair whack of the business value of SaaS can be illustrated by talking about software upgrades and what it means not to need them any more.

The Grassroots Myth is my name for the notion that the most effective way to bring a new social software platform into an enterprise is through bottoms-up, viral introduction. Like all good myths, this one is based around a central story. The details of the story vary from one company to the next, but the central elements are almost universal.
