Time to take a quick look back and reflect on the conferences we attended and/or sponsored in 2013. This year Dovetail found its way to 17 events that were a mix of HR technology, HR Shared Service, HR Service Delivery, Workday Rising, and many nationwide SHRM chapters. In all, we had quite a busy year! Without question, a couple particular and noteworthy themes formed. The first of which: The very near death of the continued need to evangelize HR Case Management.

They also seem to be aware of the obvious efficiency gains to…

Based on my years of professional experience in HR technology and implementation in particular, I'd like offer some thoughts on why software implementations fail. In my opinion, the reason many implementations fail is actually two-fold. Either the process is made unnecessarily complicated and weighed down by bureaucracy or the overall project isn't given enough merit and by that I mean not having the right team members in place, adequate time devoted to the project, clear cut objectives, a lack of strategic planning, and finally often saddled with a deadline that prohibits success. The dreaded over complicated project typically drags on endlessly, is often over complicated by a series of scope calls where no one makes strategic decisions without a series of sub-meetings and second guessing. These implementations often have too many team members involved in the process which…
