The Failover Plan Podcast EP21:Reaching the Next Generation of Planners | Burley & Navarro
Episode Summary:
Industry Groups are an essential part of any profession. They allow practitioners and thought leaders to share knowledge and generate ideas with their colleagues in a collaborative setting. However, a new generation is making up an increasingly large percentage of the workforce — one that brings with it new priorities and ideas that don’t necessarily fit the mold of current formats.
This week on the podcast, we’re going to explore the impact that the next generation of professionals are having on the business continuity industry.
And we're going to understand the key differences between the Boomers and Millennials, how millennials deal with information, and options that industry groups could employ to increase participation and value to this next generation of business continuity professionals.
