Plugging the Baby Boomer Brain Drain
Bill Bruck, Ph.D.
As baby boomers age, organizations' expertise is walking out the door and senior management is facing the impending retirement of a generation of baby boomers. Due to demographic factors, this will cause many organizations to lose a significant portion of their most experienced middle managers and talented senior professionals.
Training won't solve the problem. Research shows that 50-80% of what is learned in the classroom or via e-learning is forgotten within 30 days. Besides, the complex skills in the heads of retiring professionals aren't effectively taught in training in the first place.
In this entertaining and educational presentation, Dr. Bruck shares information about new approaches to learning and knowledge sharing are being used successfully to communicate this tacit knowledge to a new generation of leaders.
Your audience will learn- How a new Speed to Proficiency model of learning is being used by leading organizations to quickly up-skill professionals and managers
- How new technologies enable organizations to capture the knowledge of departing employees in searchable, rich media "knowledge nuggets".
- How to effectively integrate learning with coaching and performance support.
- How the new generation of social software is enabling collaboration across the office – and across the country.
Who this is for
Managers, senior managers, and executives.
