Rob Salkowitz, “Generation Blend – Managing Across the Technology Age Gap”
Sixty
percent of the insurance industry workforce in the United States is over age 47. Each year, insurers face waves of retirement that carry off their most experienced, knowledgeable professionals, while having to compete with dynamic new businesses for the best and brightest of the next generation. Web 2.0 technologies like
blogs, wikis, instant communication and social networks can help transfer and preserve critical business knowledge, increase the productivity of a shrinking workforce, and send a strong message about your company to talented younger workers, but only if everyone feels comfortable using new tools and embracing new practices.
Salkowitz
explores the challenges of managing collaborative technologies in a multi-generational workplace: How do different generations learn and use technology differently? How can insurers balance compliance and governance requirements with the demands of Millennial-age workers? And how can companies facilitate knowledge transfer across the generational divide before it is lost for
good?
Rob Salkowitz is a writer and consultant specializing in the social implications of new technology. He is the author of Generation Blend: Managing Across the Technology Age Gap (Wiley & Sons, 2008) and co-author, with Daniel W.
Rasmus, of Listening to the Future: Why It’s Everybody’s Business (Wiley & Sons, 2008). He has worked with leaders in the IT industry, including Microsoft, HP, and
nGenera, to forecast social and technology trends, formulate market strategy and articulate business goals. He also writes a popular weekly column for the website Internet Evolution.
An entrepreneur and small business owner, Rob has helped start seven companies since 1994 and is a partner in the Seattle-based communications firm MediaPlant, LCC. He serves on the board of Older Adults Technology Services, a New York-based non-profit that does technology training and workforce development for people over 50. His next book, Generation X-ecutive: How the Generation That Broke All the Rules is Changing the Game, is due out in 2009. Rob earned a BA in Political Science/International Relations from Columbia University in New York, and lives and works in Seattle, Washington.
