I think that you will see a vast number of baby boomers just fade off into retirement and that the next level of managers coming into position will be much more driven to action as opposed to relying on the scarcity of knowledge to define their value in the workplace. In regards to how you plan for that you rightly point out that it will be through the use of collaborative tools and a collaborative mentality towards solving problems. In our company http://rapidinfluence.com we provide strategic planning software online and the two main drivers of the product are collaboration (it's delivered online) and calls to action as the entire system is based on defining the actions required to implement a strategic plan. This strategy for the implementation of strategic plans is markedly different than how most baby boomers approach strategic plan implementation and is probably representative of a whole class of software that focuses on collaboration and sharing as their backbones.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head here:

“Baby Boomer workers who see knowledge as power and therefore have vastly different attitudes towards collaboration in the workplace”

People who have risen through the ranks based on time in a position are very afraid of what happens when knowledge is available to more people, because it means that people will be judged on their drive and their actions and not on the hoarding of information.

I think that you will see a vast number of baby boomers just fade off into retirement and that the next level of managers coming into position will be much more driven to action as opposed to relying on the scarcity of knowledge to define their value in the workplace.

In regards to how you plan for that you rightly point out that it will be through the use of collaborative tools and a collaborative mentality towards solving problems.

It wonder what the world of head hunting and decidedly level minded hiring will look like in 10 years?

A person must know how to adapt to changes for growth. As a small business owner, I've accepted to learn this change. With this digital age, tools are available for us to make our life easier, our business more successful. But it's still the age old knowledge is power that would enable us to be really successfuly with any business venture. So research.. research and research! Technology is always changing.
