| Lindell Ballroom B |  Benjamin Ola. Akande Dean Webster University's School of Business Dean Akande has spent the past two years interviewing students aged 18-28 all over the world. The result is an unfolding manuscript about what he calls the greatest generation yet, the I.P.O.D.ers. Who are these I.P.O.D.ers? They are a growing yet significant population that is Internet savvy, Phone-addicted, Opportunistic and Digitally conscious. The future will be owned by organizations that embrace what the I.P.O.D.ers have to offer, then enable those unique characteristics as a developmental exercise that will ensure future success. The organizations that will become the popular destination for the I.P.O.D.ers will be the ones savvy enough to welcome emerging trends, bold enough to change long before they have to and smart enough to recognize the power of technology as the currency of the future. Like the I-Generation, organizations must continue to look around corners and embrace what lies ahead. Dean Akande leads one of the largest business schools in America, with 14,000+ students in 10 global locations. |
