Session Description The most important benefit Millennials say they want from a new company is an opportunity for advancement and career development. Yet companies are very clearly saying that employees are responsible for their own development. Essentially, every employee has a DIY career. What can we do to enable careers in organizations and meet the expectations of our newest employees? We'll interactively discuss the key capabilities every employee should develop and share ideas on how Millennials can approach a DIY career. The higher education field is facing a historic pivot point challenging assumptions about every role in the learning process. The way students interact with faculty and with institutions is rapidly changing. What are the implications for organizational learning and what do the shifts in higher education mean for corporate learning? Creative disruption advocates that it's best to scan the environment and jumpstart change before the market or others force change upon us. As one person said, "Disrupt or be disrupted." What are the possibilities for disruption in learning? If there is discussion about the possibility of dramatic reductions in faculty in higher education, is the same true for corporate learning? We'll use crowdsourcing techniques to create a list of target opportunities for disruption in learning.
