Working and Managing Across Generations. From Traditionalists to Generation Y...Mike Cardus
Working and Managing Across Generations: From Traditionalist to Generation Y and Beyond…
Outcomes-
This session engages participants to:
Explore generational differences and their assumptions to the access of information in order to effectively manage tasks, teams and people.
Determine how different generations view teamwork.
Develop and hone leadership techniques to effectively manage Traditionalists, Baby-Boomers, Gen. X, and Millennials.
Develop skills for communicating across generational divides.
Explore technology and its application to work and social interactions.
Realize that as generations enter and leave the workforce, competency and respect for people are what drives successful organizations, teams and people.
Managing and working with generational diversity is a significant dimension of what is needed for success in the workplace today. The challenge is getting people to understand one another by exploring differences in expectations, assumptions and language use; then using this knowledge to increase effectiveness of people, teams
and organizations.
Bridging the age gap to build respectful working relationships can mean the difference between a work environment that clicks and one that clashes.
The global workforce is undergoing a huge shift. The net generation, Gen Y, is growing up quickly and account for almost half the workforce already. According to an HBR article, in four years Millennials – the people born between 1977 and 1997 – will account for nearly half the employees in the world. In some companies, they already do!
Organizations that engage Millennials will get ahead. The net generation wants to learn and grow and they're not afraid to ask for it. Now that we know that something has to change, ask yourself: what are you going to do for them?
4 ways to keep Millennials engaged:
1. Get rid of the performance review.
2. Be a coach.
3. Give recognition.
4. Share ongoing feedback.
Win the “War for Millennial Talent.”
Adopt new mindset – initiate, engage, collaborate and evolve.
Create a GEN Y friendly workplace culture.
Best Practices for Managing Millennials.
Change perspective involving time, technology and loyalty.
Provide in the moment performance feedback.
Create emotionally intelligent teams.
Develop future leadership bench strength.
This is the presentation I delivered to Hoteliers at a Caterer.com breakfast presentation, with the focus on engaging gen y in the workplace, on 24th September 2010.
What are generation Y? What are the implications for employees? How do you manage them?
Today’s economic situation may have leveled the playing field in terms of the impact rising unemployment is having across all the generations, however, this does not diminish the fact that each generation brings its own unique way of dealing with the world and its ever changing terrain. This manifesto addresses the uniqueness and similarities of the four generations known as the: Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials with regards to workplace teams.

Why Millennials Are Important At WorkplaceNipun Gupta
This is basically a presentation which cover the importance of millennials at the organisation or company and also how the organisation achieve the goals with the millennials.
Millennials, Generation Y - born between 1980 - 2000, how they respond to work ethics, their behavior at the workplace, how they like to manage work-life balance, and how the organizations should manage in order to compete in future.
IN THIS SUMMARY
A few years ago, Chip Espinoza, Mick Ukleja, and Craig Rusch began to notice a growing frustration among managers and business leaders trying to integrate younger workers into their organizations. Three generations of workers (Builders, Baby Boomers, and Generation X) have been occupying the work force and keeping the status quo for well over a decade. But recently, tension in the workplace has been brewing between the new workers entering the workforce, the Millennials, and the other age groups. Espinoza, Ukleja, and Rusch conducted a two-year study, interviewing hundreds of managers and employees in a variety of work environments. In Managing the Millennials, they illustrate nine points of tension which result from the clashing value systems of the different generations of workers, and nine corresponding competencies required for managers to successfully turn these points of tension into points of connection.

The Role of the CIO and CMO in the Digital Transformation of EducationVala Afshar
Colleges and universities face economic, technological, and market forces that challenge the traditional ways of recruiting students, raising money, delivering services, and insuring student success. Rapid growth in BYOD, apps, online education, and an explosion of new competitors, such as MOOCs are adding to the pressure. At the same time, marketing has become data intensive and technology driven. Gartner points to the CMO as the champion of the technology budget in the near future. CIOs can partner with marketing leaders to optimize the use of technology to increase execution velocity and scale departmental efficiency. The current period of transition creates opportunities for institutions that learn to embrace change and form a collaborative relationship between the CIO and CMO.

The new CIO-CMO relationship in Higher EducationRobert Nilsson
Extreme Networks interviewed CIOs and conducted research to find how Higher Education CIOs can work with their CMOs to lead campus digital transformation.
As marketing is getting more and more complex, data intensive and technology driven, it is important for CIOs to understand the new marketing era we live in. The pressure for CIOs to earn a seat at the strategic table was greatly enhanced by Gartner's report in 2012 that pointed to the CMO as the champion of the technology budget in the near future. Specifically, CIOs can partner with marketing leaders to optimize the use of technology to increase execution velocity and scale departmental efficiency. A collaborative relationship between the CIO and CMO is a must in today's evolving IT landscape, as they drive towards ensuring a customer-driven approach that benefits the entire business.

Microsoft Viva. Viva is an employee experience platform that empowers people and teams to be their best, from anywhere.
Viva brings together communications, insights, knowledge, and learning within the flow of everyday work and collaboration, in Microsoft Teams.
Microsoft Teams is where most remote and hybrid work happens these days. And, Teams has become a hub where we can bring all these resources together into an integrated system of engagement – what Gartner calls a new work nucleus or digital workplace hub.
Importantly, with Microsoft 365 we already have foundational capabilities in each of these areas like Yammer, SharePoint, Stream, Workplace Analytics, Microsoft Search, LinkedIn, Glint and more.
Microsoft Viva builds on this foundation by adding innovative new services and insights focused on people development and success.
Connections is a company branded employee app in Teams. It is a gateway to your employee experience, with personalized news, communications, tasks, people and resources. It provides a single curated employee destination that can be configured for specific roles like frontline workers. So, leaders can communicate and engage their employees, and employees can get easy access to the tools and resources they need from one place.. Connections builds on existing capabilities in Microsoft 365 like SharePoint and Yammer. And it pulls your communications together into a pre-configured app in Teams, designed for both desktop and mobile workers. It also acts as a launching pad to the other 3 Viva modules
Insights brings together Workplace Analytics, MyAnalytics and Glint into a unified insights app in Teams to provide data-driven and privacy-protected insights for individuals, managers and leaders. For example, employees get personalized insights, only they can see, that help them protect their time for breaks, focused work, and learning in order to promote improved productivity and wellbeing.
Topics focuses on knowledge and expertise. Topics applies AI to identify knowledge and experts and organize them into shared topics. AI automatically creates a topic page for each topic. It’s like Wikipedia for the enterprise where AI does the first draft. And these topic pages are surfaced as Topic Cards right in the flow of work in Office and Teams.
Finally, Learning allows employees to easily discover informal and formal learning in the flow of work. It aggregates content from LinkedIn Learning, Microsoft Learn and 3rd party training content and your own organizations content – all in one place. Along with providing aggregation and recommendations, it also allows managers to assign and track training, as well as report on training within and across teams.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
