It’s crystal ball time . The Menorah is packed away, and the Christmas tree is waiting to be decorated. Cordials are being infused, cookies baked and parties attended. It’s that time of year again when we all look to the coming year and wonder what will happen in the world of work and life. But here’s something we don’t do nearly as much: look back at predictions about the year we’ve lived through to ask: “Hey, wait a minute: Was my prediction accurate? Did it actually happen? Why or why not?” That’s right: Were the pundits and analysts right? What really happened in the world of work in 2012 vs. what the experts said would? Let’s figure that out.
Oh, yeah, we’ll look at 2013, too; making predictions is fun, after all, and we’ll be able to look back on our own in December 2013. …which will be here sooner than we think (sigh…).
Many of the things we’ve discussed on #TChat , both in 2011 and 2012, have come to pass. Increasingly, companies reflect recruiting trends by using talent management systems. Social media is embedded in the workplace, from the free-for-all that is Twitter to the buttoned-up Yammer. Employees use two to three screens at work — laptop, cell and tablet. Social media has put a ton of pressure on companies to pay attention to culture, manage brand and recruit brand advocates. So this week, on #TChat Twitter and #TChat Radio , we’ll count balls and strikes to see how we did in 2012.
