This document summarizes a presentation on social media and Generation V. The presentation has 4 parts: defining social media, addressing whether it is just a passing fad, exploring its role in learning and development, and outlining potential uses. It notes that over 50% of online households use Facebook and discusses other popular sites like Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube. The presentation also examines generational differences in social media use and argues that Generation V, those who rely heavily on social media, is an emerging group that will drive its continued importance. It provides examples of how organizations can leverage social media for tasks like training, knowledge sharing, and marketing events.

India Orthopedic Devices Market: Unlocking Growth Secrets, Trends and Develop...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, “India Orthopedic Devices Market -Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030”, the India Orthopedic Devices Market stood at USD 1,280.54 Million in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 7.84% in the forecast period, 2026-2030F.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

A recent Accenture survey concluded that Baby boomers, defined in Accenture's survey as those 45 years old or older, are embracing
popular consumer technology applications nearly 20 times faster than younger generations. Compared to a year ago, Gen Y consumers
between the ages of 18 and 24, are decelerating their use of consumer electronics and related services including social networking,
blogging, listening to podcasts and posting video on the Internet. Yet, there was a 67 percent increase among baby boomers reading
blogs or listening to podcasts. May 9, 2009

14. Centenarians do it!
Three per cent of U.S. centenarians questioned in a new survey said they use the service that allows users to send short
text messages, or tweets, of up to 140 characters at least once a week to keep in touch with their friends and family.
Another 10 per cent sent emails to stay connected, 12 per cent shared photos on the Internet and four per cent
downloaded music from the Web.
15. Generational Terms
• Generation Y
• Generation X
• Boomers
• Generation V
Training Professions have given a lot of attention recently to the differences in generational learning
preferences. There is an emerging new category -- Generation V, that bridges all of the other
generational classifications.
Generation V is Generation Virtual -- which addresses the largest growing group of people with
similar characteristics: need a discreet piece of information quickly; learn in small bites; use social
media fluently. There are many common misconceptions about Gen V -- this presentation will
address some of those misconceptions and lead us into a discussion about how to best serve this
group.
Gen V’ers heavily rely on social media tools to gather information. However, how they use social
media varies.
16. Gen Vers
Who are the players?
Gen V’ers can be classified into four groups:
A contributor is someone who adds previously known content to a social networking site.
A creator is someone who creates new content -- information not previously known.
A lurker neither contributes nor creates -- they observe.
The opportunist is someone who is marketing, looking or business, gathering followers, etc.
Some say that less than 15% of Gen V are involved in collecting/generating content. I would say that at least 80% of Gen V are involved and
using social media.
Another concern about social media and Gen V is that the Contributor and Creator may not be an expert and that lurkers can be easily
misinformed. Truthfully, some will be. But as people become more familiar with the “rules of engagement” they know that “wisdom of
crowds” works here and experts are recognized and emerge. Erroneous information is quickly identified and scorned. The system is
somewhat self managed.
17. Passing Fad or Sticky?
There will likely be some market consolidation - but this fad is here to
stay!
18. Does it have a role in L&D?
Yes, and really yes!!
Yes, if you think about L&D traditionally, but really YES if you have
adopted a self-directed learning model.
21. High Tech or Touch?
• Craig’s List has more visitors than Amazon or Google! Clunky WORKS!
Craigslist has more traffic than either eBay or Amazon.com. eBay has
more than 16,000 employees and Amazon has more than 20,000.
Craigslist has 30.
22. Here’s what we can envision today
• Blogs to supplement formal training
• Editable reference materials
• Process information
• Scenarios
• FAQs
23. • Link new employees to “experts”
• Wiki to collect data from experts/SMEs
• Pre-workshop preparation via podcast
• Online space for specific sub-
communities
• Blogs and Tweets to marketing
workshops
24. • Tag all participant materials on Delicious
• Wiki for post workshop questions
• Google Groups for cohort learning
