The HR Research Initiative
Seems like every vendor these days is launching a research group. The most recent entrants are SuccessFactors and Monster, who announced today a newly created Monster Intelligence research arm.
I'm a big fan of the initiatives. Many on-demand vendors maintain valuable data across hundreds and thousands of companies. The ability to mine that data and identify industry trends, practices, and key success elements strengths the value proposition and showcase how HR can actually affect the two key metrics of any business: revenue generation and cost containment. In SuccessFactors case, having the ability to identify the competencies and core elements of high performers, is...can I say...groundbreaking?
UPDATE: Forgot to mention Softscape who also has a Management Consulting and Benchmark Services practice.
