Last week, while attending the Consulting Summit in Chicago ,hosted by Brian Cuthbert and Joe Kornik of Consulting Magazine, I had the opportunity to talk with some of the world’s leading HR and Supply Chain consulting firms. I had the chance to speak with Kathryn Hayley (CEO) from Aon, Rajeev Jain of Hewitt, Maryanne Faschan of HP, Carrie Greenbaum of Alix and Susan Kantor of PRTM. After talking about the revolutionary aspects of Human Capital Supply Chains, all my discussions focused on how Consulting firms should begin to engage with their corporate clients about the benefits of implementing a Human Capital Supply Chain environment. The discussions were lively and it reinforced for me the true transformational nature of a new idea such as Human Capital Supply Chains.

VMS Hell from a staffing industry point of view
Thursday, April 22nd, 2010 by Tim Giehll
First of all, I have to give full credit for this post to the Californai Staffing Association. The information written by them below is one of the BEST descriptions of what staffing firms many times deal with when they interact with a corporate VMS. It is important for all parties; 1) the corporate client, 2) the VMS/MSP and 3) the staffing firm to better understand the common frustrations of interfacing with a VMS environment. Happy Reading !!!

Public Reaction to the Book and Concept
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010 by Tim Schram
We attended five shows in the second half of 2009, and have had positive feedback from introducing both the Human Capital Supply Chains concept and book. Now as we dive into 2010, we’re looking forward to continue spreading the word and the book to more people as it relates to their recruiting software and staffing software.
Most trade show attendees had their attention drawn to our booth because books have a lot of appeal. The best part about talking to people is seeing their reaction. Many times, people told us they immediately understood the concept. You could tell by the way their faces lit up as the proverbial light bulb lit up as if to say, “I get it! I understand the concept!” That is because these people understand the theory that applied in manufacturing and other industries, some of whom had personal experience with it.
