Still searching
It’s been quite busy hereabouts. But honestly, besides the demands of my job I’ve slacked off posting because I’ve been trying to figure out just where I want Systematic Viewpoints to go.
When I began wiritng this blog two and a half years ago I was with a huge corporation where I’d run the intranet since the late 90’s. By 2003 I had deployed then was managing their ginormous Peoplesoft portal. That role widened to include user experience across a few dozen HR apps. Then I got downsized out of a job. I’ve since been very happily employed as an enterprise portal consultant and while I have functional chops in the HR space my sweet spot is the enterprise portal strategy space.
Originally I went anonymous because I knew my prior company had no appetite for blogging so I took pains to avoid exposing too much. As a management consultant I feel even more bound by my commitments to client privacy and my company’s IP. Yet I still think there is room for worthy comment and discussion, but I find myself thinking twice every time I think, “I should write about that”.
I enjoy writing this blog…even though I have little in the way of analytics, so for all I know there’s only two people in the world reading it! However, I’m not quite sure whether I’ll continue blogging or not. If I do, my focus will almost certainly drift a bit from being HR centric, although it would almost certainly never go away entirely. If you have a point of view, I’d love to hear it. Post a comment or drop me a line at systematicviewpoints@gmail.com.
Cheers,
