    Hello Netters!

    In the past few months, there have been a few inquiries and threads
    regarding performance consulting, training, critical competencies of HR,
    etc. It has been interesting and useful for me to read your comments and
    debates as I gather information for a related conference that I am
    developing. As you know, today's human resources function is taking on a
    new consultative role (which many refer to as "performance consultant")
    within the organization. Instead of focusing on short-term, tactical
    issues, HR is now focusing on long-term business objectives -- becoming more
    of a strategic business partner, change agent, and performance consultant to
    other functions in the organization.

    After months of research and input from YOU (which I greatly appreciate), I
    am proud to announce that Linkage, Inc. will host the 5th annual CONSULTING
    SKILLS & TOOLS CONFERENCE & EXPO -- designed to enhance HR's consulting
    capabilities. CONSULTING SKILLS & TOOLS will provide access to industry
    experts (PETER BLOCK, DANA GAINES ROBINSON, HARRISON OWEN, ALAN WEISS,
    ROBERT SCHAFFER, and more!), leading products and service providers, and
    colleagues who will share advice and insights on how to cultivate, leverage
    and further develop your individual and organizational consulting
    capabilities. This unparalleled learning forum will take place SEPTEMBER
    13-16, 1999 in BOSTON.

    It is NOT too late to register for or exhibit at this conference; however,
    this year's learning forum will be limited to 300 attendees and last year's
    event sold out! Conference, registration and sponsorship information is
    provided below -- for further details, do not hesitate to contact me
    directly or visit the conference website:
