Upcoming Show - Dr. Tracey Wilen!
Tune in at 8:30 AM this Saturday, January 27th on 89.5 WSOU for an interview with Dr. Tracey Wilen. Dr. Wilen is a speaker, researcher, and author of twelve books - including her latest "Digital Distruption: The Future of Work, Skills, Leadership, Careers and Education in a Digital World." It's no secret that today's world is rapidly changing. Technology is now present in almost every aspect of our lives - from car service apps, to shopping online, to playing virtual reality games. Such advancements have also made their way into the workplace, and have changed business practices around the world. Most twenty-first century work environments currently incorporate phones, laptops, desktops, digital time clocks, and so on. Reports that used to be completed by hand are now generated by a computer within seconds. As technology advances, many companies find themselves in a position of adaptation. One factor driving this is that, with improvements in medical care, people are living longer. They are also working longer - sometimes through their sixties and even seventies! The workplace now includes individuals across several generations, all representing different eras of technological advancement. In her book, Dr. Wilen discusses this factor and provides ten disruptive predictions for 2018. From distrupted work, society, industry, leadership, and so on, Dr. Tracey Wilen will cover it all!
