MANAGING
CHANGE:
UNDERSTANDING THE DEMOGRAPHICS
OF THE EVOLVING WORKPLACE.
There are
four age cohorts in the workplace now and a fifth coming on by the year 2005.
These five groups share some traditional values but differ on important ones
such as the role of managers, employer/employee loyalty, and what constitutes
a good day's work. In this program we'll get an overview of the workplace
values and lifestyles of the groups that will dominate the workplace in the
next century. For example, money motivates two of the five groups but is far
less effective with the latter three. For those three groups, time off is
more important.
We'll look at ways of communicating that deliver the same message in ways
that each group understands and responds to. Finally, we'll look at
predictions for 2005 and beyond as the Baby Boomers retire and the Baby
Busters (a.k.a. Gen Xers) take over.
This program can be presented as a one-hour overview or a half- or full-day
session that can emphasize issues such as cross-generational recruitment and
retention*, motivation*, conflict resolution*, marketing and
customer satisfaction.*

MANAGEMENT
FOR THE MILLENNIUM:
WALKING YOUR TALK.
One
of the toughest lessons supervisors and managers must learn is managers serve
the troops as well as lead them.
In this program we'll examine both the how and why of building and
maintaining positive working relationships at every level. It's not just a
matter of corporate values or good business. It's a matter of "walking
your talk": acting out the behaviors you want to see in subordinates.
We'll discuss new expectations of managers, why managers fail on an
interpersonal level more often than on a technical level, understanding the
nature of relationships and how to build positive ones, and why cutthroat
politics most often cuts the perpetrator's throat.
PREDICTING
FUTURE MANAGEMENT TRENDS:
RECOGNIZING UNTAPPED OPPORTUNITIES.
How
do futurists do it? In this program we'll look at three things: What is a
management trend? Where do trends come from? And, how do you research trends
before the market discovers them? We'll talk about important, widely
available sources of information including specific sites on the Internet.
We'll talk about how to spot predictions worth taking seriously. After this
session, participants will have tools to separate fads from trends, to
research ideas they believe will gain wider appeal, and to use such
information for strategic planning and better management.
