The Next-Generation Workforce and Project Management
Via The Future of Information Work - interesting points made throughout the article. Note that the author is from Microsoft but there is no explicit association to any particular Microsoft solution so it's an objective viewpoint with credible positions and recommendations:
The workplace is changing in ways not due entirely to the introduction of new technology or new philosophies of management. The workforce itself is changing. The rise of the millennial generation brings workers who are more introspective, more connected to the world and their community, and less willing to align themselves to the needs of employers.
For organizations like NASA, which rely on the knowledge, commitment, and skilled leadership of its people, the millennial generation joining the workforce as baby boomers retire will create challenges across the next several decades. Understanding something about this generation can help organizations make the best use of its many talents.
