Knowledge Exchange: the New Professional
Listen now
Description
The new professional no longer learns one task or works in one industry for life. Gone are the days of assembly-line production and when 9 to 5 meant a separation of work and home. The new professionals are dedicated to a values- based work environment that will offer a connection to what they believe in, and they will only stay engaged through a company’s ability to tap into creative, analytical, dimensional, and collaborative solutions. How can companies adjust and embrace new paradigms, new segmentations, and new organizational initiatives to suit the new professional? Speakers: Susan Peters, Reid Hoffman, Heidi Moore, Mark Penn, Deirdre Stanley
