Preliminary Agenda
| Wednesday, Oct. 25 | | 7:30 - 9:00 | Continental Breakfast | | 8:00 - 8:45 | New Member Orientation | | 8:45 - 9:00 | Break | | 9:00 - 10:00 | Report from Leaders | | 10:00 - 10:15 | Break | | 10:15 - 11:15 | Bridging the Future of Talent and Knowledge Management:
HR-XML as a Data Model for Profiles, Resumes, CV's, and Internet 2.0 Business Networking (Panel Discussion)
In its seven-years of operations, the HR-XML Consortium has developed a large library of data types for the capture of richly descriptive information about candidates and employees. Within the still-growing HR-XML library are data types for Achievements; Assessment Results; Association Affiliations; Competencies; Developmental Plans and Results; Education History; Employment History; Languages; Licenses and Certifications; Military History; Objective Plans and Results; Patent History; Person Name; Publication History; Security Credentials; and Speaking History.
Many of these datatypes were developed with a narrowly anticipated use in one or more HR-XML specifications (Resume, Candidate, etc.). However, what HR-XML has witnessed is broad interest in, and growing adoption of, these descriptive data types in a variety of other contexts. A growing number of commerical enterprises, government, and military organizations are looking at HR-XML's descriptive types for "knowledgement management" applications (applications designed to match knowledge against constantly changing requirements). Moreover, as profile-driven "Internet 2.0-model" business networking sites have grown in prominance, there are growing opportunities for such sites to move beyond just services to individuals and "integration-via-email" to more sophisticated enterprise services. This panel discussion will explore some of these trends and the increasing blurring of distinctions between internal knowledge management applications and externally focused talent acquistion. | | 11:15 - 12:15 | Breakout Sessions:
Working Session: Standards for Enabling Expertise Location and Resource Matching. This is a follow-on working session to the above panel discussion. This session will zoom in to focus on key data types in the HR-XML Library and discuss possible re-organizaton of HR-XML data types to better facilitate reuse across various expertise location and resource matching applications.Staffing Industry Data Exchange Standards (SIDES). This session will provide an introduction to SIDES and allow meeting delegates to introduce themselves, their areas of interests, and priorities. | | 12:15 - 13:30 | Lunch | | 13:30 - 14:15 | Credential Verification Goes Global (Panel Discussion)
Increasing labor mobility in Europe and through out the world has brought additional attention to the issue of credential fraud. Identifying "inflation" of achievements and experience claimed on CVs and resumes as well as fraudulent licences and certifications is difficult with a single country. How might enterprises reasonably manage this challenge globally? Moreover, the level and variety of data privacy and consumer reporting and investigation laws vary considerably from country to country. How might enterprises protect themselves against employee and candidate fraud without running afoul of an increasingly complex web of data privacy protections in Europe, North America, and beyond? | | 14:30 - 15:45 | Breakout Sessions:
Working Session: Credential Verification. This is a follow-on working session to the panel discussion on the challenges of credential verifaction globally. HR-XML's Screening specification is currently designed around requirements for the North American market. This session will review the Screening specification and examine what, if any, processes, interactions, and data types within the specification may be relevant beyond North America.Working Session: Library Maintenance. This session will review CPOs and shared components for which maintanence requests are pending. Changes to shared components, such as EducationHistory will be presented and discussed. | | 15:45 - 16:00 | Break | | 16:00 - 17:30 | Breakout Sessions:
Competency Briefing. The international HR-XML organization and HR-XML Consortium Europe each have interests and projects relating to competencies. In this session, stakeholders within each group will report on current projects, priorities, and opportunities.Staffing Exchange Protocol (SEP). This session will provide an introduction to SEP and component schemas and allow meeting delegates to introduce themselves, their areas of interests, and priorities. |
| Thursday, Oct. 26 | | 8:00 - 9:00 | Continental Breakfast | | 9:00 - 10:00 | Recruting and Staffing World Tour: A Review of Patterns and Trends Around The World (panel discussion)
HR-XML's Staffing Exchange Protocol (SEP) and Staffing Industry Data Exchange Standards (SIDES) are gaining increasing adoption globally. From Paris to Sydney, from Boston to Bangalore a steady stream of adoption stories are emerging. While the interest is global, actual implementation can be a matter of adapting what is intended as a global standard to what are highly localized business practices, regulation, and market conditions. Business models prominent in one market (e.g., "vendor management" intermediaries in staffing supply chains) may be absent and even illegal in another market. HR-XML adoptors from North America, Europe, and Japan will offer insights into the challenges and opportunities of implementing HR-XML standards in their respective markets. What are the key differences in the various markets? What are the similarities? What is possible to handle within the core HR-XML standard and what topics might better be handled within HR-XML's localization architecture?
| | 10:00 - 10:15 | Break | | 10:15 - 12:15 | Breakout Sessions:
Assessments. HR-XML's Assessments specification is design to streamline the ordering and fulfillment of pre-hire and employment-related tests. This session will briefly review the specification and begin work on pending maintenance requests.Joint SIDES and SEP working session. Staffing Exchange Protocol and Staff Industry Data Exchange Standards were developed as two separate specifications. However, in actual practice, the two specifications might certainly be used in concert, particularly in the case of a Staffing Supplier. This session will continue work on explicitly documenting use cases in which SIDES and SEP are used together and discuss and identify any opportunities for better aligning SEP and SIDES data models. | | 12:15 - 13:30 | Lunch | | 13:30 - 16:00 | Breakout Sessions:
In Search of a Talent Management Domain Model. In earlier working sessions, workgroups explored competencies, assessments, talent acquisition and knowledgement management. This session will explore a very high-level conceptual model for how all the pieces fit together. Related models developed by HR-XML's competencies and performance management workgroups will be presented, discussed, and refined.Birds of a Feather. Birds of a feather, flock together! Let HR-XML facilitate! Is there a topic you'd like to bring before the HR-XML community? about your proposal! |
