From researching vendors of interest and attending as many sessions as possible to leaving time for bathroom breaks and planning for next year’s conference, Bloom lends her considerable expertise to ensure your 2016 HR Tech Conference is as pleasantly productive as possible. “Most important,” writes Bloom, “whichever conferences you attend, be sure to say thank you to the conference organizers.

If you are among the growing number of HR executives who have decided to move HR management into the cloud, congratulations! Next comes the formidable task of quickly integrating HR tech with your company as smoothly as possible. Perils and pitfalls abound.

Did you know that fully half of all companies with revenue exceeding $500 million don’t have a proper CEO succession plan in place? This is astonishing considering how important succession plans are to any company’s future success. This Norwich University infographic shared by TalentGuard shows how companies struggle to implement such plans even when they know a quarter of all CEOs intend to leave their posts within the next two years. Don’t panic if you don’t have a succession plan in place, but you should definitely assess your company’s current culture and consider whether placing an interim leader could be a viable solution in the event your CEO calls it quits.
That’s all for this week. We’ll be back again next week with another edition of B2B Trending Conversations. Until then, you can check out last week’s column on Salesforce’s epic shopping spree here and as always, keep those pitches and that great B2B content coming our way via @b2bnewsnetwork.
