Talent Management - A Perspective from Alice Snell, VP of Research at Taleo.

Alice Snell

"Business executives may be under the impression that there is top talent readily available on the market. They may think that the business can easily replace anyone. In that mindset, talent management loses its focus and employees are commoditized. Without a leadership focus on talent management led by HR, the war for talent could morph into a war on talent." Alice Snell

Dance With Chance - The Illusion of Control

"In a nutshell, Dance with Chance is all about knowing what you can and cannot predict and, therefore, what you can and cannot control." Robin Hogarth

Robin Hogarth

Welcome to a Big Picture Channel podcast on Total Picture Radio. Why did no one see the subprime crisis coming? Does golf make you live longer? Why does the casino always win at roulette? What are the odds of a coconut landing on your head?

A new book titled Dance with Chance - Make Luck work for you - answers these questions and many more besides. More importantly, it shows us how to gain greater control over many aspects of our lives - by knowing just when to trust to luck. Joining us is one of its three authors Robin Hogarth.

Think about it. Every day human beings make decisions. Some are important: should you invest your life savings in the stock market? Others are trivial: should you take an umbrella today? But in both these cases you have no control. The stock market will go up or down, it will rain or it won’t… and there’s nothing you can do about it.

"It’s Not What the Software Does, it’s What the User Does" Quote from John Sumser's Business Card.

The State of the Recruiting Industry with John Sumser and Jonathan Goodman. Recorded at ERE Expo. "The State of the Recruiting Industry is dismal. Nobody is working. Recruiting has been practiced as a reactive sport. But with all of these out-of-work recruiters comes this enormous explosion of entrepreneurial creativity." John Sumser.
