The Cast
The Generation Identity
Kool-Aid Kids
Drinking the Kool-Aid is a term that is used in conjunction with the Post-war and Boomers generations.
These generations stay with one company for most of their career. They choose to “move up” within a company, rather than look for a better opportunity at another company. They are proud to represent their organization. They identify with their company. They may not agree with everything their company does, but they understand that the “grass isn’t always greener on the other side.”
Play Hard, work smart is the best summary of this generation.
They require instant gratification because they require reward for their effort. Contributing to the greater good is part of their DNA, as is equality and open-mindedness.
They speak their mind and will question authority. Some may consider them as having a sense of entitlement, but they believe it is a function of being misunderstood.

The Power Of One
Social media has changed the way we consume and share information.
Technology has provided a conduit for
individuals to share their stories, opinions, thoughts, content,
images, videos, etc. to the masses, with few restrictions.
How Have Social Trends Changed in Business? How Can We Leverage These Trends To Build Awareness?
Zeitgeist
source: CMPX survey 2014
I would be considered a workaholic. I will put in whatever time is required to get the job done. I am competitive with a strong work ethic. I believe strongly in personal development and I am loyal to my company. I value title and rank while working within teams and I like rules to follow the rules, but not be told what to do.
I value work before pleasure and discipline in the workplace. I have strong family values and good manners and “play by the rules.” I believe that hard work and time will lead to leadership.
I would not be considered loyal to a company and prefer a true work/life balance. I question authority if I don’t believe they are correct and I will be cynical if leaders aren’t trustworthy. I work well independently and I am familiar with technology. I multi-task effectively and I need to be kept challenged and stimulated in order to be productive.
I believe that anything is possible. I am optimistic and highly social and have high expectations of myself and those around me. I am educated and tech savvy, and I am willing to wait for the right opportunity. I require flexibility in the workplace and I am always looking at ways to challenge the status quo. I will lose interest in menial tasks and I am okay with lateral moves within my organization.

What Are Others Doing?
Government Of CanadaThe Government of Canada launched the Federal Skilled Trades Program in January 2013 to facilitate the immigration of skilled tradespeople who meet Canada’s current and evolving economic needs. Skilled tradespeople are assessed on relevant criteria, such as language ability, practical training and work experience rather than formal academic education.
