Let’s zoom-in: Gen.Y = Gen. WHY
Creativity
Network and Community
Natural approach to
technology
Focussed on possibilities
They (seem to) challenge the
status quo by demanding
to know the WHY!! 28-11-2013

Retaining your knowledge by
transfer between the generations
Golden rule:
“You don’t tell GenY how it’s done. You
discover and develop together as equals.”
![Page 9: generations in the organisation: making it work!€¦ · 4/3/2014 · Generatie Y (screen agers) Generatie Z (Google Kids) 1. Freedom 1. Personal atmosphere 2. Cooperation 2. Variation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052020/60345695da265c6e0f65d8bd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Blending training, self reflection, knowledge
transfer and intervision. Having senior-colleagues
take part as equals.
That brings a totally different learning
environment and -dynamic that really fits GenY.
Also : buddy-system where a GenY is coupled to
an experienced baby boomer or X’er.
So how do you do it?
![Page 10: generations in the organisation: making it work!€¦ · 4/3/2014 · Generatie Y (screen agers) Generatie Z (Google Kids) 1. Freedom 1. Personal atmosphere 2. Cooperation 2.

New generations bring creativity and
solutions, but need space & time.
![Page 11: generations in the organisation: making it work!€¦ · 4/3/2014 · Generatie Y (screen agers) Generatie Z (Google Kids) 1. Freedom 1. Personal atmosphere 2. Cooperation 2.

THM #1: give them safe boundaries
that stimulate AND challenge!
![Page 12: generations in the organisation: making it work!€¦ · 4/3/2014 · Generatie Y (screen agers) Generatie Z (Google Kids) 1. Freedom 1. Personal atmosphere 2. Cooperation 2. Variation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052020/60345695da265c6e0f65d8bd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
THM #2: evaluate and reward on
effort, not just on competences
Talent, creativity and
intelligence can be obstacles
in professional development!
Keep that in mind that when
giving them feedback
![Page 13: generations in the organisation: making it work!€¦ · 4/3/2014 · Generatie Y (screen agers) Generatie Z (Google Kids) 1. Freedom 1. Personal atmosphere 2. Cooperation 2.

THM #3: focus on what the
generations have in common
“Generational conflict in
organisations is more
often about the fight
for power than actual
differences between
the generations”
![Page 14: generations in the organisation: making it work!€¦ · 4/3/2014 · Generatie Y (screen agers) Generatie Z (Google Kids) 1. Freedom 1. Personal atmosphere 2. Cooperation 2. Variation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052020/60345695da265c6e0f65d8bd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
So what do we all have in common,
what unites us across generations?
1. We all share the same values; we just
show it differently.
2. We all want respect; we just interpret it
differently.
3. We all want a leader that is honest,
credible and reliable.
![Page 15: generations in the organisation: making it work!€¦ · 4/3/2014 · Generatie Y (screen agers) Generatie Z (Google Kids) 1. Freedom 1. Personal atmosphere 2. Cooperation 2.

The future isn’t decided upon.
It is created by us all together.
