Thoughts on talent in a web 2.0 world

Written by Susan Burns

I had the opportunity to sit down with Bill Vick for a virtual interview last April.  We had a great time exploring ideas around the intersection of business and talent, the role of technology, and the emerging 2.0 world.  I like how Bill framed this as the “collision of business strategy and recruitment”.  Some of the other topics we touched on included “talent as customer”, evolution of communication and talent engagement in a 2.0 world, and the biggest problems facing recruiters today.  Check out all of Bill’s video interviews on XtremeRecruiting.TV!

People_TreeWelcome to the Talent Synchronicity Blog!  I hope you’ve had a chance to explore some of the core content about Talent Synchronicity and my background on the other pages in the site to get a feel for my experiences and how I think about the business of Talent.  In the blog section you’ll find me writing on a range of topics around Talent and business.  My interests and passion revolve around trends and events that influence how we think about Talent, how organizations can develop and implement strategies that enable engagement and collaboration with Talent, and the inherent value at the heart of relationships between Talent and organizations.  My perspective has been shaped from being on the front lines leading talent functions and multi-million dollar retail operations.  It continues to be shaped daily through awareness, conversations, experiences and gazing over the horizon to envision how business and Talent will collectively define and transform the future of work.

On occasion, you may even find a word or more on yoga.  Yes, yoga! I’m a dedicated practitioner and as my practice deepens through workshops and teacher training programs, there are a number of correlations to creating dynamic and collaborative workplace environments.  Yoga is about nurturing, shaping and establishing “union”.  Whether looking at the union of body and mind or the union of people and companies, it’s about how the pieces come together to create a stronger, more connected and solidified whole.
