‘Tech-savvy and lazy?’, How to mentor millennials

Reply

Millennials at workThe way mentoring programme design was approached ten years ago needs to be reconsidered in the light of more recent generational differences in the workforce.

Mentoring in a VUCA world – ‘Future Proofing’ your people

Reply

In an era of VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity) what makes an organisation fit for the 21st Century? And what impact has the global financial/economic crisis had on organisational cultures?CM mountain top
