FULL TRANSCRIPT

00:00:14 :08 – 00:00:23 :02

Good morning and welcome to HR Tech Weekly, One Step Closer with Stacey Harris and John Sumser. Good morning Stacey. How are you?

00:00:23 :02 – 00:00:36 :05

I’m well John I am enjoying a nice very warm day in North Carolina though home still for my my little break from the travel Road here in July. And how about you. Are you home this week. I think you’re traveling next week though aren’t you?

00:00:36 :05 – 00:01:08 :19

I am headed to two great things this week. I’m going to a conference that I go to every year that I think is the best conference of the year. For me it’s called Mind the product and it is about product management it done differently than than most of the things that I see one day. And one agenda six speakers on the topic of the relationship between product management and company success.

00:01:09 :04 – 00:01:38 :23

And it’s great. It’s great. It’s focused. There’s not a choice there’s not milling around. It’s not really a lot of networking. It is a pure educational sit in your chair and take the day long conference at the State of the art. So in product management you get the issues like interface design and usability integration. It’s a very sort of met view for a terrific go to

00:01:39 :03 – 00:02:01 :29

Mary. And I’ll be interested when you when you go to this next week to see if they’ll be talking more about no interface versus interface right. Because the conversation that I’m hearing a lot more is that. The idea of the computer basically and all of your technology being hidden behind the life you want to live in that will be interesting to see how much that comes up and something like that.

00:02:01 :29 – 00:02:16 :13

Well that’s the interesting turn of a phrase technology’s hidden behind the life you want to live. Give me a couple of bullets to do that. Well that’s that’s that’s almost a perfect subtitle for the New York Times best seller isn’t it.

00:02:16 :17 – 00:02:26 :27

Yeah. Well there you go. My next book tour and I mean when I when I when I hear you know eggs I mean partially because I think I was reading a lot of articles this week.

00:02:26 :28 – 00:03:08 :07

I’ve had a lot of time my house has got fans and humidifier. So I’ve been relegated to one room in my house which left me to do a lot of reading and I have been reading a lot of the backlash against technology. But when I really dig into a lot of those to do especially in where you’re at there in San Francisco that area the Bay Area this pushback My technology is not getting rid of technology completely when you dig into a lot of those conversations. It’s just making it less in your face and something that you have to have available and making it more something where as I’m sort of going out and doing my outside living and enjoying my kayaking and and cooking for my family the technology is there to support those things you want to do right.

00:03:08 :07 – 00:03:22 :08

It automatically gives you the information your refrigerators talking your stove talking or dishwashers talking it know allowing you to do the things you enjoy to do in an easier way it seems at least that’s the conve
