As we emerge from pandemic, the future of business is here. It’s a future in which organizations must move faster, flatten their hierarchies, operate more virtually and adapt to a changed workforce. This new era goes beyond generations–and requires leaders from every generation to learn new ways of working, leading, and managing.
In this session, author and thought leader Karl Ahlrichs will share research, case studies and lessons learned from his leading edge work in Human Capital. In addition to new strategies, Karl will offer tactics that can be implemented immediately to improve communication and reduce conflict for adapting to this new reality. It’s not about simply “dealing with Millennials” as the new majority in the workforce—it’s about working with them to design organizations that thrive in today’s environment and understand how to drive deep engagement with employees, customers, members and volunteers in a new way.
