It doesn’t take a lot of searching on the web to find essays, posts, and articles that declare generational differences a big lie. Many of them center around Millennials, particularly because that generation has been covered in the press with many different names (Gen Y, NetGen, etc.) So in case you were wondering, there is actual historical theory that explains the generations.

Why did we use the not-so-commonly-known word, “generative” in describing one of our human elements. After all, people have a pretty quick feel for what we mean by open, trustworthy, and courageous, but not so much with generative.

In the presentation I distinguish between the hype around generations (oversimplified, negative caricatures of each generation that blame one or more of them for our current problems), and the legitimate and important knowledge about generations (identifying differences in values based on the differing social contexts of each generation’s coming of age period).

Of course, a few years ago (when social media was still being discounted as a possible fad), there was a more pressing challenge for organizations: generational diversity. So have generational issues been superseded by social media and social business? I think generations are still a big challenge for organizations.
