 Because of our business focus within TomorrowToday, we often encounter baby-boomer managers struggling to adapt to and accept the increasingly larger number of Generation X (and smattering of Generation Y) found within the workforce. Mostly it’s the vast difference in world view and value system that’s causing the angst. Boomers have done a fantastic job managing boomers. They’ve created systems, processes, management styles, reward philosophies, motivation programmes, etc that have resulted in tremendous growth and increased efficiency. As this younger group have entered the work force, they’re simply not responding and engaging in ways that Boomers have become accustomed to. Barrie Bramley provides some important insights for management success.

 Social networking is all the rage, and companies are increasingly starting to use Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and other similar sites to promote their brands, connect with customers and open new channels. According to futurist trend watcher, Dr Graeme Codrington, this is but the simplest application of these technologies. When we truly understand the impact of user generated content, augmented reality and mobility, everything will be changed. A revolution awaits us.

Bacon or Pork: Either Way the Piggy Bank is Toast – by Keith Coats
|
 Written as a reflection on three changes that the global recession has precipitated, Keith writes a thoughtful and engaging article that will cause you to reflect deeper on your lot – be that as a parent or as a leader.

 Shifts in societal change over the decades have radically changed the way we do business. Some creep up on us while others happen like a tsunami. Is your business in symbiosis with its ever changing environment? In order to attract and retain your target market, and indeed survive and thrive in current times, businesses need to be in touch and in tune with changing landscapes. This is both in terms of internal customers and external customers. South Africa is no exception and the landscape has changed! |
