In this podcast Bill Kutik a technology columnist for Human Resource Executive magazine interviews Jason Averbook the Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Knowledge Infusion. Jason is wildly known to be thought leader in talent management and HR technology. This podcast talked about how the thinking behind talent management and how HR technology has changed over the years. They talked about how:

• Companies are buying software in a more educated fashion than in past years.
• Companies are buying HR software and technology to solve a strategic issue rather than solve a backroom function.
• HR Technology Initiative driven not just by HR managers but the by the CEO of the company.
• Web 2.0 technology that profiles Internal and external talent management data/workforce data like Linkedin and Facebook.
• Tools and technology that identifies the right talents and skills to drive business.

Right now companies know more about their computers and its capabilities rather that their employees skills, knowledge, talents and career interests. With the shortage of skills in today’s work environment knowing what capabilities your team/employees have is key to gaining a competitive advantage in business. it is important to know that organizations are starting to use and demand software that actually do what needs to be done and adds a strategic value to the organization rather that getting something just because its hyped up.
