The next big thing?

During one of my meetings yesterday we were discussing what the next really big thing would be in the HRIS space. The list below was some of the items that we were looking at, the question is which ones, if any will be the next big thing?

• HR CRM
• Workforce planning
• Workforce analytics
• Collaborative tools
• Knowledge management

I briefly looked at alternative communications a couple of months ago and in 2001 HRIS tends which covered a similar list, interestingly we are still waiting for many of the 2001 trends to become reality while several are here and now.
