SuccessConnect 2010 kicked off today in San Francisco and has been nothing but non-stop action. Leading the action, was Lars’ by jumping for joy onstage to open up his keynote. Lars recapped SuccessConnect in New York, discussing business execution, and spinning the infamous big “Wheel of Success.” The “Wheel of Success” has an array of topics ranging from a “Innovation Machine” to “Audience Picks”, and proved to be very entertaining and informing for all.

Lars introduced Carlin and he did an amazing demo of Cubetree. By using Cubetree, Carlin demonstrated how to see group comments on a resume and how one could ultimately be in two meetings at once. After Carlin, 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. Lars and Dmitri did a quick demo of the new Goal Execution function by showing the execution map and status update function. The recruiting demo has some great new features, which Lars’ showed off by scoring a potential candidate off stage on his Blackberry, and the improvement on turnaround time for candidate feedback. Peter Howes and Brian Kelly from Inform took the stage next. Peter talked about the history of Inform, GBMC, and BizX Insights. The keynote ended with Lars discussing Employee Central.

SuccessConnect 2010 in San Francisco had a huge surprise in store for everyone. An extra keynote speaker was added! Dr. Chip Heath, a Professor at Stanford University School of Business and author of best seller “Made to Stick” and “Switch” gave a great lunch keynote. Nothing but excitement here in the city by the bay.
