How to make it HR2.0

So there I was talking to some of my friends, who are HR professionals, who always look at me at bewilderment when the topic turns towards social media and networking.

I tried explaining the Cluetrain manifesto , the Long Tail , the Wisdom of the Crowds , Swarm Intelligence and Emergence , the move from Control to Collaboration and Transparency. However I reali… Continue

Meaning at work?

I believe that finding contentment is finding meaning - and you might have a very different way of describing it. Work and Careers even though it occupies a major part of our waking hours, still accounts for a small part of our life's importance. This is what keeps a lot of us from being truly engaged at work.

Learning and Life

On the Vyaktitva blog Arjun Shekhar blogs about the seeming disconnect between learning and life. Is training really a waste of time? To answer that let me invoke the expansion of the acronym ID. It Depends. And it depends on one thing alone - how close to reality your sessions get; the methodologies have nothing to do with it. Suffice it to say that the most successful trainers are able to get a slice of life into the cake they… Continue
