Generational Differences & Change: It Isn't About Values

Generational Differences & Change:  It Isn't About Values

By Robert (Bob) Hartl

Academia has studied the etiology of behavioral differences among generational cohorts for many years.  Recently, the focus has been on so-called "generational differences."  Initially, some researchers assumed these differences could be attributed to different value sets, but recent research has proven that assumption to be faulty.  This presentation will "set the record straight" about the generations and will provide participants ideas for how to manage change initiatives across the generational groupings.

Upon completion of the presentation, participants will:

• Understand why generational groups behave differently in the workplace.
• Be able to predict how generational cohorts likely will react to rapid change.
• Be able to apply lessons to change initiatives in their own organizations.
