I've seen similar in aerospace, trucking and even IT. Perhaps it is a hallmark of how fundamentally the shift is in regards to how we all want to work? Bright people are innovating, and bright people want to innovate, but perhaps are unsure exactly how to do this. The dynamic between the Organization-Member Corporations-Member Consultants is shifting...maybe? Industry associations need to change the value proposition, but aren't sure how, yet are not using the tools available (i.e. blogs, online surveys etc.) to engage, thus they are finding it difficult to provide a strong value proposition for the industry to give to the buyers of your services - who I think need your HRO advisory services more than ever! Increasingly so. Just a non-industry persons thoughts.

Been coming every year and have watched the deterioriation of this particular event. Tremendous opportunity to make this strong however the fialure is more apparent each year. I spoke w/sr mgt at a few major HRO players that we do business with and they will not be back w/out changes. It didn't help that many sr-level buyers attended HRPS this week which, quite frankly, HRO would never be able to compete with for their attention (I've attended several in the past). Here's hoping that a salvage plan is in the works and much hope to make next year relevant (Go Elliott!) Hi Mark,
