[EVENT RECAP]: 'Heroic HR' Seminar Teaches the Importance of Technology

All hands rose when speaker Marc Miller asked the HR professionals in the room to raise their hands during his seminar at the HR & Employee Benefits Summit in Philadelphia, PA on March 14th, 2016.

With a focus on HR technology solutions, it’s no surprise that Miller’s seminar, “‘Heroic HR’: Leveraging Technology to Help HR Move from Data Management to Information Craftmanship,” focused on the connection between human resources and the C-Suite. 

The common theme throughout the seminar was the importance of knowing your company. Your HR strategy must align with your company’s strategy, and the tools - most of which are technology based - should not just express data but they should also generate metrics, dashboards, models and forecasts – especially in talent management. HR executives are expected to produce integral information for the C-Suite, not just data, and in many cases HR is the first resource for CEOs during growth planning. As Miller explained, it’s imperative that the HR team crafts information and stays proactive and participatory in the executive’s needs.

“HR is not ready for big data,” voiced Miller, explaining that big data does not apply to the industry in the conventional way and that for big data to be useful – HR must first get metrics within its own boundaries right. 

With more than 35 years experience in all aspects of technology solutions for Human Resources, Miller is an authority on Information Systems speaking at national meetings including the American Management Association (AMA), the American Society for HR Management (formerly ASPA).
