Lars Dalgaard - CEO, SuccessFactors
SuccessConnect 2010 had an amazing kickoff today in New York. Lars opened up his keynote using a big spinning “Wheel of Success” to determine what to talk about, all while holding his son, Lars Jr. right by his side. The “Wheel of Success” had topics ranging from a “Funny Lars Story” to “Insight for Impact”, and proved to be very entertaining and informing.
Lars introduced Calibration and the new launch of a new Goal Execution function, as part of the Goal Management Module. Calibration, the industry’s first solution for streamlining and simplifying the calibration process at enterprises for improved business results through more impactful talent initiatives. The Goal Execution helps companies make sure that people are working on the right things at all times by bringing awareness, visibility and tracking of progress against company goals into the daily work of employees.
Dmitri Krakovsky - VP, Product Management
Dmitri demoed the new products with a cool touch screen for everyone to see. The recruiting demo has some great new features, which Lars’ showed off by scoring a potential candidate off stage on his Blackberry. The keynote ended with Carlin Wiegner surprising everyone with a demo of Cubetree.
We are also thrilled to have had full houses in both bootcamp training sessions today, prior to our SuccessConnect kickoff and keynote! Over 30 companies participated in these paid training sessions, both on our “Introduction to SuccessFactory” class and on “Performance Fundamentals- Effective Goal Setting”. Let’s keep it coming New York!
