Four major trends are shaping the current business environment, which has been referred to as the Shift Age. We will explore these trends and the implications for developing leaders within this new business reality. The four significant shifts are:
- The move from tangible to intangible
- The move from factory worker to artist
- The move from content to context
- The move from generalized to personalized
To help guide this roundtable discussion, we’ll encourage participants to share the following:
- Why is foresight (seeing the relevant opportunities that are emerging) becoming an increasingly important competency? How can developing a mentoring network help current and future leaders better develop and apply foresight?
- Why should organizations broaden their view of mentoring beyond only integrating it into traditional point solutions (e.g., HIPO development, onboarding, diversity development)?
- How can organizations meet the needs of their established point solutions while at the same time create enterprise-level networked mentoring and knowledge sharing practices?
- How should generational preferences and expectations (especially those of Millennials/Gen Y) influence organizations to adopt broader networked mentoring and knowledge sharing practices?
- How is the enterprise, networked mentoring different from social networking?
Learning Leaders will discuss how broad-based, networked mentoring practices can positively impact and influence the development of future leaders and the entirety of the workforce.
