Regeneration and recruitment. It’s a fact of life in many organizations, but a particular challenge for civil services around the world. Most civil services have traditionally been structured to retain experts and encourage the concentration of specialist knowledge and corporate history. In practice, this means that recruitment and regeneration of the working force has proved difficult.

We are facing tremendous challenges with the arrival of the wired generation - the kids who used to be called the Nintendo generation. They bring a ground-breaking approach to communication to their life and their work. And it may threaten stability in the office.

(Not that a little disruption and iconoclasm can’t be good - in moderation)

Take, for instance, how a generation used to interacting with insight, sarcasm, disregard for the feelings of others, or irrationality - largely through comment fields - might restructure the traditional business meeting.

A video from College Humour shows us the possible result.
