Feeling the Pressure as Generations Shift? A Quiz

Do you find yourself thinking  We must get younger faster, We are at a tipping point, or  We have to change in order to survive. These are the kinds of comments I hear from clients and audiences these days. And no wonder. In generational terms, we have entered a 4th Turning, when everything feels more urgent.   Once in a Lifetime Generational studies reveal that every 80 years or so we cycle through a period when change suddenly accelerates. The "... Read More

What Will Happen Next? The Answer Is WHO.

I can totally relate to the jumper above. Entering 2018 feels like making a crazy leap into an unknown future where things keep changing fast. Disruption is the new normal. Maybe like me you often wonder what will happen next. If so, there's good news. The question that unlocks the future is not “What will happen next?” Ask instead, “WHO will happen next?” Who is positioned to bring new and timely innovation to your company? Who is reshaping market tastes... Read More

A Front Seat for Disruption

I live in Nashville, so I’ve had a front seat for the disruption of the music industry.  The model used to be roughly linear. Artists created music. Labels developed and promoted that music to radio stations and retail stores. At the end of the chain, people bought the music. First as albums, then later as cassettes and CDs.  The move from vinyl to cassettes and CDs was interesting, but it wasn’t disruption. That was just evolution. Disruption i... Read More

Healthcare Disruption and Gen IQ

What’s changing in healthcare? Nearly everything! It’s easier to ask what’s not changing. That would be a shorter list.     Three megatrends are in play simultaneously:      digital tech, consumerism and public policy No matter what our role in the industry, we're all feeling the pressure of disruption. Star Trek and TUGS New technology is all over the board, from electronic charting, mobile care and scheduling with apps to wear... Read More

Innovation: Part of the Job

No matter where you look, innovation is transforming old, overwhelmed systems. No industry is like it was 5 years ago. Online shopping disrupts store-front retail. Online degrees disrupt campus-based education. Newspapers are failing, and Twitter is growing. Entrepreneurs crowdsource their start-ups, seek gigs rather than careers, and use Uber rather than buy a cars.   No More Status Quo This fits with generational cycles. Every 80 years or so, we go through a period of massive di... Read More

New Org Charts for an Era of Change

I often talk about org charts in my speeches. When I show audiences a traditional top-down pyramid, two things happen simultaneously—some people groan aloud, and other people say “Hey, it works.“ The difference is often generational. Likewise when I show audiences a matrix-like org chart, some people say “yes!” and others say, “That looks like chaos.” Again, the difference tends to be generational. Here’s the hard truth. We work in the in... Read More

Managing Millennials: Redefining Loyalty

I recently consulted with a Boomer employer and Millennial employee. The Millennial was leaving. She had learned a lot in the position, she explained, but she wanted to do more and different things, and she didn’t see that happening anytime soon. At one point, the Boomer said, “I wish you’d stay. You’ve only been here two years.” The Millennial’s reaction was swift and sure. “Right. I’ve been here Two. Years.” Same words,... Read More

Growing, but Gray?

Associations and nonprofits tend to have a common problem these days—going gray. Even groups that are growing in this recovering economy are often growing older, too. No surprise then, that the biggest challenge associations and nonprofits report is engaging younger generations. Until recently, people supported nonprofits and associations because it was the “right thing to do.” Nothing wrong with that. It just doesn’t work with Gen X and Millennials. The first quest...

Why a Generations Keynote?

“Why would I come to your generations keynote?” a friend asked me. “I already know I’m a Boomer, so what’s the point?” I considered my friend—a successful realtor, energetic, all over FaceBook and Twitter. “Is there an age group you just don’t like as clients?” I asked. “I like everybody,” she said. Then she paused. “But there’s this thing some people do that drives me crazy.” She went on to desc... Read More
