  1. Information and actions are increasingly portable via mobile applications.
  2. The availability of various social media and the increasing complexity of intellectual property are increasing the need to establish and improve technology governance and policies.
  3. The use of cloud computing (reliance on online applications for various technology needs) is increasing.
  4. Organizations increasingly are adopting viral recruiting and social media for employer brand messaging (e.g., Facebook, Twitter).
  5. The economy is having a slowing effect on enterprise projects, which, in turn, affects technology—both now and when things shift back in recovery: transformation projects are decreasing, new projects require longer decision times, cost-cutting initiatives are increasing, organizations are breaking larger projects into a series of smaller ones, globalization efforts are on hold, software and implementation prices are lower.
  6. Talent management platforms are undergoing product consolidation, shifting away from siloed applications toward total solution suites that support a holistic view of talent management.
  7. There is growth in the area of both candidate management and employer management tools.
  8. The availability of dynamic collaboration tools is altering the importance of organizational knowledge versus social hierarchy.
  9. As more companies produce various kinds of sustainability reports, e.g., carbon disclosure (CDP) reports, employees will require training in the use of sustainability software, carbon impact database development, calculations of waste resource use into carbon impact statements, as well as overall employee training in process changes, governance, risk, and compliance.
  10. Organizational and individual information is increasingly transparent (e.g., profiling of hiring managers, Japan’s mega-database of all potential employees).
