This past year also revealed that the average HR professional still faces the hard challenge of convincing the C-suite to properly invest in talent as a long-term asset. If 2017 proved anything, however, it’s that the HR technology and service space is coming to the rescue and support of the average HR professional in bucking the shortsighted C-suite to work toward a more seamless partnership between people and technology. In this way, the Human Capital Management (HCM) community is more committed than ever to driving productivity and innovation together. [Aberdeen’s HCM Fortune Teller survey](http://surveys.aberdeen.com/snapwebhost/s.asp?k=151327098361&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--BIaJxLkqFY6eoYxH3hKG9WTlT7O2aZAsWxt5WPVwubfXBxwqZ2W64s6u9xInWyqVwo2WT) is taking a look ahead to find out how companies are reinforcing these trends while overcoming the key pressures they highlighted in 2017. [By taking the survey](http://surveys.aberdeen.com/snapwebhost/s.asp?k=151327098361&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--BIaJxLkqFY6eoYxH3hKG9WTlT7O2aZAsWxt5WPVwubfXBxwqZ2W64s6u9xInWyqVwo2WT), you will be helping to establish how these trends will continue into 2018, contributing to a better industry understanding of how to respond to your most pressing challenges. The results of the survey will contribute to Aberdeen’s research on challenges that faces the vendors, service providers, user communities, and end users like you.
