What’s Happening with Our Workforce: Making Generations Work!
 |
Jim Carroll
Futurist, Trends, Creativity & Innovation Expert |
Join international futurist, trends & innovation expert Jim Carroll as he explores some of the biggest challenges facing organizations today. With the coming “end of retirement,” most companies will come to realize they’ll need a lot of telephones with big buttons for members of the 70+ folk who are still a part of their workforce — and a lot of innovative workplace practices as well.
That’s but one challenge –the arrival of “Gen-Connect” (also known as “Gen-Y”) — the kids who have been wired with a mouse since birth — will lead to the question of whether “good luck” will be the only possible response to the question of “Managing Gen-Y.” This workplace weirdness will only be compounded by the ongoing rapid evolution of knowledge and skills, such that most organizations will find it impossible to find the highly specialized skills needed in the economy of the future. Are we really in an economy in which there is an emerging profession of folks known as “manure managers?” You bet — and it’s all part of the unique issues that companies must begin thinking about today.
Jim’s unique insight into emerging HR trends is in high demand – 3,000 members of the International Human Resource Information Management Association recently heard him put the issues in context on stage in Dallas, Texas. Join Jim as he shares his insight into the trends that you are already faced with, and the innovative and creative ways that you can come to grips with the depth of the challenges ahead.

Chasing Bernie Madoff
 |
Harry Markopolos
The Bernie Madoff Whistleblower |
It took Harry Markopolos five minutes to figure out that Bernie Madoff was a fraud. But it took him almost 10 years of red-flag waving to get the world to see it. Finally, the truth is out and Markopolos - profiled on 60 Minutes, in The Wall Street Journal, and in the documentary Chasing Madoff - has become a hero for our time.
With modesty, steely integrity, and self-deprecating humor, Markopolos offers not only an insider account of his actions, but a vivid examination of our financial system, including:
- What happened, how it happened, and why?
- There are more Bernie Madoffs out there yet to be exposed and prosecuted, so what does this mean to our already fragile economy?
- How can we fix the system to guard against fraudsters?
Markopolos provides a riveting, behind-the-scenes presentation on how his four-person investigative team tracked Madoff. He will explain the red flags, warning signs, and the audit steps you need to know so this doesn't happen to your organization. What he has to say will have you either crying or laughing or maybe even both at the same time. About our speaker »»
