Globalisation, mobilisation, consolidation, collaboration, communities, technology, social networks, the Cloud – a lot happening in the world of business today, a lot more jargon to contend with, and a lot of it enabled by whizzy new technologies and applications.
The new workforce
Just consider….in less than 4 years half of the Global
workforce will be made up of Generation Y, and in less than 8 years Gen Z will
be in the workplace. They will expect to work, communicate and learn in very
different ways. These are the people who are comfortable with technology and
its uses. These people may be your customers and colleagues. It is up to the rest of us to stay in the
game and get savvy, quickly.
Entry level jargon
So if you don’t know your Twitter from your Tumblr, your
Pinterest from your Storify, your Gowalla from your Foursquare, your Doodle
from your GroupMe, your elearning from your immersive simulation and if you are
not yet married in Second Life or have some kind of Avatar……you may need to
consider it!
Essential catch-up
action, fast
To get you started there are a couple of short white papers*
on new technologies to help you learn, and how to get the best out of social networks. There’s always trusty old Google to pop some of these names into. Go
on, grab a coffee and explore.
You never know what
you might find……or what might find you…
