What comes after higher education? A road map of the non-traditional pathways university graduates follow to fulfill their dreams; and what this means for tomorrow's higher education industry in the context of the greater economy.
Millennial Dust or Magic: How we address the common challenge of finding good answers to basic income research questions. Proposed a new way to conduct Stageable Social Science Studies (S4) within a studio model. The S4 Studio is designed for carrying out "Millennial Dust or Magic" experiments, based on the idea (and a well-reasoned hypothesis) that "story context" significantly affects human perception, emotions, and behaviors. Examines the cultural, historical and religious aspects of story context; and how story context relates to the 3 elements of what makes a story. Plenty of examples throughout to illustrate how stagecraft and casting make a story script come alive. Offers our idea on DoM experiment design and social impact amplification, and how this is "Good Research" from a social impact standpoint.
This slide cast was created for my TMD course. Throughout my second year of IBM I had to attend 5 seminars and make a slide cast on the content at the end.

This is almost identical to the ELH presentation so if you have listened to that SlideCast don't worry about this one - I didn't record the audio this time, though in hinddight I should have as the conversation after the talk was great and the emphasis was different.
The document presents big ideas for 2016 from various creative professionals. They discuss trends in various industries like fashion moving towards eccentricity over corporate styles, casual restaurants becoming more popular than tasting-menu only spots, focusing on authenticity over too many disposable choices, using clothing to empower confidence, and technology continuing to impact daily life through advances in video and virtual reality. Other ideas discussed include well-being becoming a bigger workplace issue and quantifying it, a rise in female entrepreneurship, chefs focusing on sustainable sourcing and education, prioritizing sleep, embracing individual styles unapologetically, increasing opportunities for women in film, and technology further integrating into fashion through new apps and more online transactions versus in-store.
Peru Professionals Of The New Millennium 8 16 10asperbyu
The document discusses changes in the modern workforce and provides advice for professionals. It notes that work is becoming more globalized, specialized, and reliant on technology.

Think Big, Start Small, Move Fast: Digital Strategy in a Changing WorldMichael Edson
Keynote for MMEx digital strategy symposium, Randers, Denmark, August 2015. This presentation discusses the shortcomings of traditional strategy processes and suggests alternatives that emphasize speed, iteration, and a bias for action.
Anyone designing new products, strategy or change will need to consider the future world in which their creations will exist. A little more than ten years ago I was asked this question:
“What will the world look like in 10 years and how might this affect the organisation?”
To answer this I needed to learn how to be a Futurist. It wouldn't be that hard right? I could just make a few wild predictions about a utopian future with robots and sprinkle with buzzwords? No, I'd have to take another route and learn more about the world in the process.
In this talk I will break from the future-gazing and do two things rare for a Futurist; I will look back into the past and I will focus on the predictions I got wrong. What can ten years of perspective teach us and how can we use that for looking again towards the future.
Attracting & Retaining Top Talent: Millennials In the WorkplaceMcKonly & Asbury, LLP
This webinar will be hosted by McKonly & Asbury Human Resources Director, Suzanne Sentman, and Human Resources Coordinator, Holly Kressler.
Millennials, the cohort of Americans born between 1980 and the mid-2000s, now surpass Baby Boomers as the largest living U.S. generation. In 2013, they represented one-third of the total U.S population and by 2020, they are expected to make up half of the workforce. How are employers responding to this employee population shift?
This webinar will explore the defining characteristics of the Millennial generation and how companies can utilize this information to successfully attract, recruit, and retain these employees. As employers create a culture that supports this generation’s need and desire for career growth and advancement, best practices will be examined in areas such as recruiting, onboarding, training, and performance management.

Michael Edson: Prototyping the Smithsonian CommonsMichael Edson
The document discusses prototyping the Smithsonian Commons, which is proposed as a new digital platform and presence for the Smithsonian Institution. It summarizes the Smithsonian's strategic plan and goals of updating their digital experience, learning model, and balancing autonomy and control. A key aspect is creating the Smithsonian Commons, which would stimulate learning, creation and innovation by providing open access to the Smithsonian's research, collections and communities online.

Changing the medium to challenge the message - A Conversational UI case studyJay Whittaker
Marshall McLuhan said “the medium is the message”, meaning the medium changes how the message is perceived. I tell a story about how we came to prototype a conversational UI, and how this new medium challenged the team's thinking. This is less about the 'how' of constructing a Conversational UI and more about the 'why'. What thinking we needed to challenge and why this approach helped achieve that. In a broader sense it reflects the evolution of the industry in the past 5 or so years.
The document discusses several topics related to cognitive psychology and rationality, including priming, self-deception, memory and justification, and the bystander effect. It provides examples showing how people's decisions and justifications can be influenced by subtle contextual factors like the wording of a question or the presence of others. The document suggests people are inclined to discard inconsistencies and fool themselves to maintain a positive self-image.

Michael Karnjanaprakorn argues that the US education system is fundamentally broken and focuses too much on getting into college rather than learning. He discusses his own experiences in college where he memorized information to pass exams but did not truly learn. He also highlights growing issues with student loan debt and the fact that not everyone needs a college degree. Karnjanaprakorn proposes "a learning revolution" that moves beyond traditional education and focuses on lifelong learning through platforms like his own Skillshare that allow people to learn new skills from others in their community.
The document discusses the future of education and training as the nature of work changes due to advances in technology and automation. It notes that traditional 4-year colleges are no longer suitable or affordable for many students. It highlights several promising new models for educating and training workers, including companies directly providing education benefits to upskill frontline workers, coding bootcamps and accelerated programs, and competency-based education that focuses on skills rather than credit hours. The future likely involves a mix of these new approaches working alongside traditional higher education.
This document discusses how colleges can weather the "perfect storm" of challenges facing college admissions. It outlines demographic trends showing declining numbers of traditional college-aged students and increased economic pressures. It argues colleges must overthrow dead recruitment cultures, embrace authenticity in their branding and marketing, and ensure the campus visit experience is engaging. Specific tactics include engaging students earlier in their college search, emphasizing authentic stories over statistics, and training tour guides to provide memorable experiences that feel "right" to prospective students.
This document discusses trends toward decentralization, flexible work arrangements, and the growing gig economy. It provides statistics on the rise of freelancing and independent work. Coworking spaces are presented as enablers of connectivity, collaboration, and innovation that allow organizations to access skills and opportunities beyond their traditional boundaries. Data from the Seats2meet coworking platform demonstrates increasing social and economic value generated through serendipitous connections and opportunities among coworking members over time.
Developing a Sustained Supply of Talent: The Total Rewards Approach, National...Charlotte Chamber
The document discusses total rewards approaches and developing a sustained supply of talent from a national perspective. It covers topics like multi-generational workforces, the skills businesses expect from new graduates, what Fortune 500 CHROs say about skills and education, where post-secondary education should focus, and actions businesses can take to help develop talent. It also provides fast facts on current salary increases and starting pay for new college graduates. The presenter has experience in senior HR leadership roles and chaired committees related to workforce development.
Despite the best efforts of dedicated practitioners, current career guidance practices are failing to prepare youth for career success in the face of the looming perfect storm in job markets. A new, harmonized, whole community approach will be needed.
President Obama sat down with EBONY editors to discuss the education crisis in America. He views closing the achievement gap between white and black students as one of the country's highest priorities, as it threatens both individuals' economic potential and the country's economic competitiveness. His administration has introduced initiatives like Race to the Top that reward innovative state reforms, but he acknowledges lasting change will require sustained efforts over a decade or more to improve teacher quality, accountability, and student performance, especially at low-performing schools. Obama also emphasizes that meaningful reform demands commitment from parents, communities, and students to make education the top priority and foster a culture where academic success is valued and supported.

Writing Mini Lesson 21- Writing The Conclusion OfShannon Green
- The passage discusses whether Walden by Henry David Thoreau is still relevant.
- While some argue Thoreau was hypocritical and didn't truly isolate himself as portrayed, the core idea that living frugally and naturally allows one to spend more time on purpose is still relevant. Simplicity can lead to a richer life.
- Thoreau believed people need purpose to live deliberately, and Walden encourages taking time to observe life with purpose, even if just to expand one's knowledge.
This document discusses moving beyond traditional higher education models to focus on competency and workforce needs. It summarizes that traditional degree programs are not adequately addressing job demand or student success. Instead, it advocates for modularized, competency-based models aligned with employer needs where student success is defined by job placement rather than course completion. The focus is on technical education programs that get students job-ready and employed rather than keeping them in courses. This represents a shift toward competency as the currency in higher education.

This document proposes a project called MISO that aims to improve healthcare access in medically underserved areas through a network of mobile and portable clinics. Key aspects of the proposal include:
- Operating a fleet of mobile clinics ("clinics on wheels") that can travel to patients' locations and provide a variety of medical services.
- Developing self-sustainable portable clinics that use solar power and can be deployed in remote areas.
- Creating a healthcare "information backplane" using standardized protocols to connect different components like electronic health records, telemedicine, and mobile clinics.
- Gradually implementing the network starting with behavioral health services delivered from vehicles near existing health centers.
The document discusses the FinTech startup ecosystem. It covers several topics:
1) The business of startups and how startups help other startups.
2) The "big question" of how to best launch and accelerate new FinTech ventures.
3) How startups co-evolve with platforms and ecosystems, with "small" becoming the new "big".
4) The iterative process of building, measuring, and learning until achieving "product-market fit".
The document discusses the idea of a "Perpetual Alpha" fund that aims to generate consistent profits through a multi-strategy approach powered by "academic arbitrage" exploiting irrational human behavior. It proposes organizing the fund as a trading desk using quantitative models and algorithms to predict returns across markets like FX trading 24/6. The fund sees opportunities in finding reliable long-term sources of alpha through analyzing irrationality and inattention in markets before others.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the creation of images and videos, enabling the generation of highly realistic and imaginative visual content. Utilizing advanced techniques like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and neural style transfer, AI can transform simple sketches into detailed artwork or blend various styles into unique visual masterpieces. GANs, in particular, function by pitting two neural networks against each other, resulting in the production of remarkably lifelike images. AI's ability to analyze and learn from vast datasets allows it to create visuals that not only mimic human creativity but also push the boundaries of artistic expression, making it a powerful tool in digital media and entertainment industries.

that cost more than
$250,000.
“Coding boot camps didn’t exist four years ago. Now 80 of them pull in $59
million a year, mostly from college grads. A 12-week boot camp at Hack
Reactor in San Francisco costs $17,780; that’s $1,482 a week, about the
same as a week’s worth of tuition at Harvard.”
Katy was looking for a full-time job in
graphic design but wound up working a
contract gig for a Boston clothing store.
She’s paying $11,500 for a three-month
crash course in coding, sitting in a basement
5 days a week (9am to 5:30pm).

“What Do People Do All Day?”
“Do people sit around and play video games, or do they create new things?
Are people happy and fulfilled? Do people, without the fear of not being
able to eat, accomplish far more and benefit society far more? And do
recipients, on the whole, create more economic value than they receive?”
— Sam Altman (“Basic Income”, Y Combinator)
Q
“A lot of our social services were based on the notion that there are a lot of 40 hour-per-week
jobs out there, full-time jobs, and it was just a matter of connecting people to those jobs and
everything will be fine. Of course, one of the things we know is that’s certainly not the case,
particularly for young people who often find themselves working in precarious jobs, working
in contracts for long periods of time without the benefits and long-term support that those of
us who have been around longer take for granted.”
— Evelyn Forget (Professor, University of Manitoba)

adults judging me for working three part-time entry-level jobs to support myself in order to

those of us looking for “real” jobs. But hey, in the meantime, the world will always need another
server, barista, or nanny. Keep hanging in there, millennials.” — Alex
