Leading the 'Connected Generation'

A special report on the impact of the Internet and Connectivity on technology graduates today - the Connected Generation or Gen C. It highlights how management roles, especially in traditional industries, will evolve and how companies should react to remain competitive. Student and Parents may also find this interesting when considering career choices.
In a series of 4 conferences, a broad range of managers, academics, and students discussed the strengths and weaknesses of a generation brought up on the Internet. The aim of the discussions was to highlight best practice in recruiting and retaining technology graduates. The main finding is that technology is quickly becoming powerful enough to automate many traditional management roles with broad impacts on organisations that go beyond the 'War for Talent'. However, there are ways to prepare for this revolution and integrate the unique skill set of Gen C's into an organisation.
In this report, the main themes that emerged from the discussions are highlighted and recommendations are given for students, educationalists and industrial managers.
All proceeds from the work will be used to fund more research in this area. For more details please visit www.eiil.net.
