Keeping your Bright Young Things

November 30, 2004 Barrie Bramley Articles, Talent No Comments

-bright

Refreshingly different; full of passion; street smart; not easily fooled; ready for anything (rfa)

-young

Somewhere between 21 and 34 (more about mind than body)

-thing

There just isn’t an appropriate adjective to describe this world changing generation of people (used similarly in the phrase ‘who’s an exploding thingy then?)

We’re searching for stories of companies, organizations, bosses, colleagues and anyone you work with who is doing some of the right things when it comes to attracting, retaining and getting the best of Generation X. (In fact we’d also like to hear some stories of those same people who are getting it horribly wrong)

We don’t want to name them, just tell the stories, and where possible to visit, interview and video.

Business is beginning to take this generation seriously, (see the story below) and we’d like to develop an archive of amazing stories, both good and bad, for all of us to enjoy, and then more importantly, learn from.

If you have a story to tell, drop an e-mail to byt@tomorrowtoday.biz (or byt@tmtd.biz) and we’ll post it onto our GameBreakers site, which can be found athttp://www.tomorrowtoday.biz/gb)

Twitter 10 Billion – quality not quantity

In the last few hours the 10 billionth tweet was tweeted on Twitter. As one would imagine there was all kinds of hype and excitement, as Tweeps with the necesary skills attempted to predict the time it would happen, and I imagine even be ‘the one’?

Gen Y are not a pushover

Miranda Devine is a Sydney Morning Herald columnist, and recently wrote an excellent piece on Australia’s Gen Y (young people now in the teens and early 20s). She had just witnessed a group of 400 of them grilling Kevin Rudd, the Aussie PM – and they had given him a rough time.
It’s well worth [...]
