Cultivating an Agile Workplace: When Eight-to-Five meets the Net Gen Worker (EDUCAUSE 2007 Featured Panel)

Join Susan, Tracy and Carie at EDUCAUSE 2007 as they discuss the following questions and those posed by participants. This wiki is open for your input and reflection, so please contribute to the dialogue by sharing your responses now, during, or after the session.

1. How does higher education compete with corporate entities in recruiting net savvy students/new workers? How do we retain them?

2. How do we prepare students for “life 2.0” - success in the workplace? What must our curricula look like? Should higher educational institutions either revert back to or initiate new required courses in the law, politics, culture and use of information technology resources?

3. How do we help the students and recent grads be successful in their new jobs and how do we help them forge career paths in our institutions?

4. Do our existing general education values map to the needs of a net savvy workforce?

5. How can we as employers prepare our existing (and more traditional) staff to accept and learn from this new breed of worker? How can we take advantage of their skill sets instead of squelching them?

6. Is there a place for social collaboration tools in the workplace? Should new workers modify their habits? What are the policy issues when new generation employees share work related information within their blogs, websites, and social collaboration spaces?

7. How do we navigate the “even finer” line digital tools have drawn between our personal and professional lives; public vs. private?
