It''s about supporting others and worrying abut yourself later. No Excuses.

Collaborate 2012 - Pretenders and Usability
Tim's Fusion HCM
MAY 13, 2012
Between trips to Paris (see previous blog), I managed to fit in a visit to the Collaborate 2012 conference in Las Vegas. Because I focus on Fusion Applications, I made it my mission to attend as many Fusion Applications presentations as I could. I was disappointed by the large number of presentations at which the speakers talked about the subject without having real experience or hands-on knowledge of the product. call them the ''pretenders''. This type of presentation simply serves to disseminate misinformation and helps none of us. Then there was the User Experience Team.

MAY 16, 2012
I recently came across an interesting German documentary called Work Hard, Play Hard , which I wrote about at Compensation Cafe. The basic premise is that you create an ultra cool and inviting work environment that entices people to stick around longer and work harder. Oh, and the underlying theme is that they''re being exploited. thought the idea of deliberately making employees feel at home in the workplace in order to exploit them was interesting so I floated it to Dave Ryan last time we chatted and we decided to write about it as our next project social topic. engagement project social

April was a busy month. First, I was in Paris to run a series of Fusion HCM courses. Then Las Vegas for the Collaborate 12 conference (more in a separate post), then back to Paris for part 2 of the Fusion HCM courses.
