Saving Institutional Knowledge Before Baby Boomers DisappearBetsy Kent
The departure of Baby Boomers will leave an enormous gap in the workplace. Managers should be worried because specialized knowledge and skills will be walking out the door. Younger workers are looking forward to increased opportunities, though perhaps with some anxiety because their mentors will no longer be around to consult. By working together and planning ahead, we can reduce the impact of the departure. Similarly, some STC Chapters struggle to recruit new members, especially members who actively work to support Chapter activities. The leadership worries what will happen when older active members stop participating.

This interactive workshop will be hosted by women who have decided to move back to a technical career path mid-career. It will discuss the number of women leaving IT, offer two 15 minute exercises on career and skills planning, and discuss the role of family, mentors and sponsors in successfully re-entering the technical career path.
Innovation is often placed on the back burner when business owners grapple with constant change in marketing trends, compliance and customer requirements. Then we just end up doing the same old thing repeatedly, expecting different results - and we all know how ineffective that is.
We explore the process of internal innovation within a business; when to do it, what to do and how to do it, using some of the proven business methodologies gleaned from business schools around the world.

2. Outline
• Introduction – Industrial Research
• Career Path
• Personal Initiative
• Strategic Skills
• Networking & Collaboration
• Adaptability
3. Global Applications – Career Path
• It does not matter if you are in industry,
academia, government labs or small
businesses – much applies:
• You will have peers, subordinates, and
supervisors.
• You must build your career one step at a
time.
• Excitement is contagious.
• Commitment will get you noticed.
• Stand OUT!
4. Focus: Industrial Research Path
• No matter your career path, CREATIVITY is
a NECESSITY!
• Most topics today can be applied to any
area.
• Different decision points as careers progress.
• Personal Values and Vision required.
• Path begins with your education choices.
• Personality, Psychology, Sociology and Desire
all help shape preferences.
5. Career Path(s)
Avoid the path that mimics a Random Walk or Brownian Motion!
From: http://www.fritsch-sizing.com/encyclopedia/brownian-motion/
6. Career Path(s)
Your career path won’t always follow the IDEAL models you see!
From: http://www.technocorp.co.in/adne.html
8. Personal Initiative
• Manage your own career!
• Don’t let the system manage it for you!
• Set your boundaries early in your career.
• Work-Life Balance is essential for longevity!
• Industrial Research requires a personality
that strives for Team Rewards vs. Personal
Achievement!
• Re-evaluate your options and path regularly.
9. Strategic Skills
• Interpersonal Skills
• Public Speaking
• Organization
• Leadership
• Business understanding is CRITICAL
• Expressing yourself in presentations
• ALL of the above can be TAUGHT; the
Optical Society provides much of this!
10. Networking and Collaboration
• Poster Papers are GREAT for networking.
• Ask questions when in meetings and at
conferences.
• Get involved in Student Leadership activities.
• Stay in touch with colleagues. It is amazing
how far a note or personal thank you will go!
• For Industry, IP & Product Demonstration are
more critical than publications; collaborate!
11. Collaboration is the KEY,
especially for the
Industrial Research Scientist!
“Alone we can do so little; together we
can do so much” - Helen Keller
“The true sign of intelligence is not
knowledge but imagination” - Albert
Einstein
12. Adaptability
• Striving to broaden your knowledge base should be
a daily goal. OSA Open Access journals make this
very achievable.
• Breadth in skill sets assist with progressing along
your career path in industry.
• Gain exposure to multiple projects.
• Adaptation to change and to stress are requirements
for success in a start-up! Business “decisions” can
override personal research initiatives.
13. Summary
• Success is never guaranteed.
• Use resources, mentors, and trusted friends for input.
• Embrace RISK; Understand Failure.
• Failure is inevitable; do NOT let it define you!
• Never forget to bring your passion to work. It will carry
you as far as your knowledge!
• Interdisciplinary knowledge and collaborations are a
key cornerstone to success.
• Remember what brought you to science – Asking WHY?
• Take time for YOU – Work/Life Balance is Critical for
longevity!
