Investors haven’t been kind to the stock prices of many leading professional services firms, with many seeing a 1/3rd or more drop in stock price since early this year. Research firms might get an even deeper drumming. What's behind all of this? @brianssommer.bsky.social takes a look: bit.ly/4fL6aQ8
The markets have been buzzing in recent days especially in the #HRsoftware sector. @brianssommer.bsky.social brings us a quick rundown of the deals - and why they might not be the big, earth-shattering events some analysts have made them out to be: bit.ly/45RZIlA
HR Tech 2025 demonstrated a colossal lack of imagination, strategy and leadership for @brianssommer.bsky.social. His #HRTechConf experience did NOT come with lots of agentic-AI proof. In fact, it was quite the opposite. Read on to see what you didn’t miss. bit.ly/46ys4lo
HR vendor Plum has shared some interesting perspectives on how AI is going to impact the kinds of people firms will want to employ and the skills/attributes that will be more (or less) in demand. @brianssommer.bsky.social reviews the findings for us: bit.ly/471mMPK
I write a number of pieces for @diginomica.com & some really strike a nerve with readers. This piece diginomica.com/three-crucia... continues to surprise me as I keep hearing from folks who read it, passed it around, and, discussed it at work. Click the following and enjoy here it is. #ensw#erp
And over at @diginomica , colleague Jon Reed and I just launched the satirical 2025 Un-predictions - that antidote to the laughable 'predictions' flooding everyone's news feeds. It's our yearly gift to the enterprise tech world. If we missed one, let us know.....
you just know it's going to be a rough travel day when you've already received four different flight delay emails and the numbers of Disney-bound kids in the lobby are growing exponentially. Great day for noise-cancelling headphones.
Cue Sheryl Crow’s “Leaving Las Vegas - just ran into @BrentLeary at the LAS airport. We’re bugging out after a massive combined @Oracle @NetSuite user conference. #ensw & a big #TYFYL to everyone

Star pupil @jonerp at @sage Intacct analyst event gets the head of the table treatment. Let’s all thank him for his leadership #tyfyl#leadershippin @SageIntacct
Currently at the airport waiting for my delayed flight to board. And, contrary to one politician’s recent claim, no one has set up a tent during our almost one hour delay.
Here’s a 1st. @united just ordered all of us off the plane so they can install a “new air filter”. This will take 30 minutes. UA1687 . Wonder what other maintenance tasks they might be waiting until the last second to address?
Currently, @Zoho CEO speaking on values, privacy, etc. It’s actually a rare kind of talk as few enterprise tech CEOs are founders (They’re professional managers who can only speak to their private equity or institutional investors values). #zoholics2024
I’m currently at @Zoho ‘s #zoholics2024 in Austin. Largest crowd they’ve had and everyone has a table! Austin events always have a different, cool vibe (& great food) #ensw
With a flight delay, I wonder: 1) why do the airport mechanics and baggage handlers wear the filthiest safety vests possible? Do they come that way? 2 ) did the kid who left their book bag at security ever get it back? 3) is it a law that only 1/2 of electric outlets can work?
