EXERCISE your TurnIdentify one hard trend impacting your organization:
Regulatory – Technology - Demographic
Then one BIG opportunity related to it!EXAMPLE:
Demographics: 80 percent of the people in our field will be retiring since they are Baby Boomers
Focus on hiring more young, innovative people who will think out of the box. Create a process for the people who
are retiring to help the younger people by sharing their knowledge and successes as well as their failures.���
