\"Stopwatch\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Here’s the itinerary:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong>Start at Inflexion Point <\/strong>and read The Future of HR\u2014Why \u201cDo Nothing\u201d Is an Option<\/a> to see why Mark Stelzner thinks the \u201ctransformation\u201d of HR is highly desirable, but probably unlikely.\u00a0 (My paraphrase, in a nutshell:\u00a0 Second Law of Thermodynamics.)<\/p>\n

2. <\/strong> Click on Comments<\/strong> and scan the interesting discussion that follows.\u00a0 Susan Burns wonders \u201cwhether or not HR is evolving in sync with the broader transformation taking place in business? With the societal and cultural shifts taking place locally, regionally, nationally and globally?\u201d<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Skim through Deloitte\u2019s<\/strong> HR Transformation Survey<\/a>, mentioned in the Inflexion Point post. One highlight:\u00a0 Of the C-level executives surveyed, more than 90% think Compensations\/Benefits is the HR task most likely to be outsourced, less than 40% point to Recruiting\/Staffing.\u00a0 Another highlight . . . more than 80% see cost savings as the key driver for HR transformation, while a mere 30% want to free up HR for a more strategic role.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Side trip:\u00a0 Rosabeth Moss Kanter<\/strong> offers a list of Top Ten Ways to Find Joy at Work<\/a>–and the advice is not actually what you might expect.\u00a0 Favorite quote:\u00a0 \u201cexerting leadership is the surest route to joy (other than going fishing). <\/strong>The key is setting the agenda and starting the pieces moving towards a purpose-driven goal. If 90% of success in life is just showing up, Monster.com founder Jeff Taylor advises that when you show up, you might as well run the meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. <\/strong> Wind up at Learning Putty<\/strong> for 7 Creative Ways to Introduce Social Media to Your Team<\/a>.\u00a0 I like them all, but \u201cGive the Gift of Social Media\u201d is my favorite.<\/p>\n

    <\/ol>\n

    Okay\u2014that\u2019s two minutes for each stop.\u00a0 Read fast!<\/p>\n
