"Finally, a book for leaders that can actually make your work life better.

"Technology's role in continuing to position HR as critical to business performance is crucial - this book does a great job in exploring the impact it has had in the past, and opportunities for the future. It gives you insights as an HR leader on how, and why, you need to think about technology as a key part of your plan. Important food for thought!" * Lisa Stafford, Professor of Management, Director of Graduate MS in Management program, Fairfield University *
"I could not put it down. As I read through this book, my thought was that it cannot come fast enough. With Human Capital at the top of the pyramid, we need to unleash our HR department to deal with the new realities and get away from the PROCESS focus. Reskill and have this department laser-focused on building a high-performance workforce to increase business outcomes. This is such welcome news, and every progressive HR leader needs to rethink not only their role, but the team's role. This takes us to a reskilling/upskilling effort like we have never witnessed before." * Ron Thomas, Managing Director, Strategy Focused Group *

Along the way, you'll enjoy her real-world stories - always keeping the "human" in HR Tech." * Leighanne Levensaler, EVP of Corporate Strategy, Workday & Co-Head Workday Ventures *
"This is the kind of book you keep on your desk with pages folded, binder cracked, coffee stains on the cover - well-worn from thumbing through it again and again. An essential reference guide for seasoned HR technologists and aspiring people operations professionals alike." * Kyle Lagunas, GM Global Talent Acquisition Lead *
