Game of Thrones is back, and we at The Starr Conspiracy could not be more excited (we’re kinda big fans). In celebration of the return of one of our favorite shows, we’ve put together the five reasons King’s Landing needs an HR director. (There are probably spoilers in here somewhere, but we’re too excited to care.) Read on, friends, for the night is dark and full of HR violations.

HR people usually get a bad rap in film and television. At The Starr Conspiracy, we happen to love HR people, but it’s still fun to laugh along with some of our favorite characters.

At TSCIU, we see our role as being a leader in determining what’s coming in the HCM tech market. Too often, analysts lag behind, reporting on where the industry is, not where it’s going, and not putting any skin in the game on where it should go. As a result, in HCM and enterprise software, we’re lacking perspective on the future. TSCIU will take risks, and we will undoubtedly be proved wrong on some counts. But, we’re not passive observers. We’re intellectually and emotionally engaged in the future of HCM as central in enterprise software.
