Over the many years of working within HR Shared Services and HR Service Delivery I have been involved in various programmes and projects. Often I was working from the customer side as a sponsor or leading the project from concept through to handover and support (full end to end). Working on projects in HR Shared Services such as these involves countless hours of research, due diligence and conversing with fellow peers. Achieved typically by reading analyst reports, research articles, speaking with and hearing thought leader perspectives, reading reviews and posts from great HCM columnists, along with online forums and many more. I thought it might be useful to the reader if I posted some of those sites, and people that I follow and read, along with the conferences I visit. This is a multi part blog post, so…

Like any good sales process, our friends at Amazon have done a great job of pitching products that we've never known we couldn't live without. This weekend, they did their best to entice me with a DVD set for Series 7, which I think is about reality shows. But what caught my eye was the "Marathon Edition" banner.
