The Shift: Building a Next-Generation Enterprise for a Next-Generation Workforce
Join your fellow technical communicators for an eyeopening discussion on “The Shift” that is taking place in today’s workplaces. In his presentation, Seth Mattison, speaks to our conference theme, “Gain the Edge to Get Results,” by building a next-generation enterprise for a next-generation workforce. Seth believes that, for future-focused organizations and individuals to succeed in the new world of work, a bold approach to management is needed. He recommends an approach where freedom, trust, and experimentation are not only embraced but encouraged.
Unfortunately while our advancement in technology has equipped us to navigate the disruptive waters of change, our management models have not. Today, many of our organizations are still operating from a 19th Century industrial age management model that undervalues unconventional thinking, discourages full transparency, deters initiative, frustrates experimentation, and allows people to play small.
Seth will provide a road map for anticipating the management challenges that demand fundamentally new thinking. This talk will inspire leaders at all levels to break free from obsolete management models that limit success and build tomorrow’s best practices today.
