  2. From fast pace to warp speed Today we are living in an age of speed and continuous discovery. Change is constant and the speed of change is relentlessly on the increase. Rapid and fundamental change is simultaneously impacting our personal world, our work world, our culture, and our society. Put them all together, and we find that most of us are living a life that is stressful, sometimes out of control, and for many, very exciting. Some wish the world would slow down. Well, get over it! It’s just not going to happen.

  9. Aging A child born in the United States in 2001 is expected to live about 30 years longer than a child born in 1900. (AARP) The population of the U.S. is expected to grow from 275 million in 2000 to 571 million in 2010. Those people 85 and older are expected to increase from 4.3 million in 2000 to 37 million in 2100. (U.S. Census Bureau)
  10. From boomers to seniors Demographics are real numbers, hard to argue with. The famous Boomer generation is becoming “seniors”… but not the kind of seniors your grandma was. They are healthy, expect to live longer and, for most, believe that anything is still possible. And there are lots of them… who will create new markets, require services, and depend on a shrinking number of wage earners to keep Social Security and Medicare solvent.

  22. These kids have ambition and aspiration coming out of their ears. They want to be leaders when they grow up. They want to change the world. New York Times (2007)
  23. Emerging careers Cybrarians Web Gardeners Robotic Engineers Terrorism Analysts Automotive Fuel Cell Technicians Programming Artists Leisure Consultants
  24. Work-life balance to work-life blend Today’s anywhere, anytime technology has blurred the lines between being at work and being at home. Your netbook is all you need to transfer your work from the office to your den. So beware, you can easily be putting in 70+ hours per week at the expense of your family time if you are not able to blend your responsibilities. Healthy blenders have identified work that is highly satisfying to them personally and then take the time, at their discretion, to be the parent and partner that they want to be. Timelines may be blurred, but responsibilities are not.
  25. From employment to Free agents Lifetime loyalty to a single organization is a thing of the past. Conservative estimates are that 35 million Americans are Free Agents today, selling services, expertise, and advice to multiple clients. They are trading security for freedom and opportunity while transforming job security into “jobless security”. The good news is that Free Agents can set their own schedules… the bad news is that many are working 24/7.
  26. Information, INFORMATION, INFORMATION Information doubles somewhere between every 6 months and 2 years. It is estimated that when the present first graders are adults, information will double every 30 days. (Schlechty 1990) Every two days now we create as much information as we did from the dawn of civilization up until 2003. (Eric Schmidt, Google CEO, 2010)
  27. From change to disruptive innovations Change used to be something we could watch. Montgomery Ward took a couple of decades to be done in by the retail innovations of Sam Walton. Travel agents fought the tide of personal computers and the do-it-yourself movement for years. Today’s disruptive innovations and the “mass customization” movement have taken down Blockbuster and crippled Barnes and Noble in a matter of months. These kind of innovations have placed in jeopardy any business or industry which sits between the creator of products and services and the end users of those products and services.
