Chicago  October 2, 2001  Mohan Sawhney is joining the Advisory Board of Fieldglass, Inc., a human capital management (HCM) software technology and services company that offers an enterprise-wide, Web-based solution for contract labor management.

A globally recognized author, speaker, teacher and consultant in e-business strategy and technology marketing, he is the co-author of two recent books: The Seven Steps to Nirvana: Strategic Insights into eBusiness Transformation, and Techventure: New Rules for Value and Profit from Silicon Valley.

Fieldglass is the type of company I believe will do well in these difficult economic conditions, said Sawhney is a statement released this week. They tackle a real problem using sophisticated software and a deep understanding of their domain. This combination of transaction processing and workflow applied to the human-services space is delivering quantifiable returns.
