Earlier this week I (Michaela Hackner) was in Austin, TX attending the Convio 2008 Summit , a national conference focused on the use of the Convio's constituent relations management tool. Attendees primarily consisted of nonprofit organizations seeking to grow their donor base while also continuing to engage their existing audience. In normal economic times, this is not an easy task.

most people don’t know what to expect from a recruiter…they will act like they do because the don’t want to appear ignorant…. there are at least 9 or 10 different types of recruiters and they often function very differently…retained search folks, contingency recruiters, “placers,” internal corporate recruiters…all work quite differently. often when potential candidates contact or are contacted by a recruiter their expectations are not met because the recruiter failed to set them and the candida

The “ Green Enterprise Unconference ” we’re hosting on December 3rd is looking extremely timely and interesting. It’s timely because integrating environmental factors into decision-making is likely to become a key issue in 2009 for businesses and governments. Timely – according to The Wall Street Journal’s “CEO Council”, recommending today that the new Administration pursue a variety of alterative energy technologies, and “mandate” improvements in energy efficiency – strong calls by corporate CE

I got a vivid image of new possibilities for mashing up data a few weeks ago at Forum One's Online Community Summit in Sonoma. For me the highlight of the event (though there were many highlights) was a talk given by Owen Barder of AidInfo. He spoke of his vision for a "cloud of aid information". Owen is based in Ethiopia; his wife works for an NGO that builds clinics.

I've been a fan of an online community called Innocentive and a new announcement about how their program has successfully matched researchers with funders is a testament to the power of their online collaboration program. In short, the Rocekfeller Foundation funded a recent challenge on behalf of the TB Alliance to researchers in the Innocentive community to find simpler and safer ways to produce the TB drug candidate PA-824.

There is a lot of excitement these days about "The Cloud" and how we can mash up web content in new and innovative ways. At the same time, many groups that we work with are overwhelmed by too many emails, workspaces, group sites, social networks, and other sources of messages, discussions, and knowledge. Wouldn't it be great if all the knowledge and human interactions that we each need to access and respond to each day were organized in ways we need it rather than by what tools or sites we use?

It's so commonplace, so sad as to be funny. Even worse for us is that when they're through blowing all their money on software development, they have none left to get a working system from us.

Three ways for staffing leaders to fight the recession with sales training: Do sales. That's right, the best training is not training at all. Let your example be the training.

I have no bone to pick with Taleo other than that I plan for Tempworks to eat their lunch. And so it is that earlier this year I did the video post below on Taleo's acquisition of Vurv about which I received nastygrams from apparent Taleo fans. Fast forward a few months and Taleo's market cap has fallen so fast and furious - granted in a bear market - that its entire value is scarcely above what it paid for Vurv.

This Gartner consultant says that the crash is around the corner, it's just taking longer because its origins are in banking and credit and not in IT like in 2002.
