Programme Octave
Interview with Tammy Erickson - Programme Octave 2017 (English version)
Four generations are working together in today’s workplace – and a fifth is on the way. Each brings unique assumptions to the job and different skills and perspectives. Events in the workplace are often interpreted differently by individuals in different generations. What may seem like good news to one might well be an unsettling and unwelcome development to another. Today it’s increasingly important to create a culture that is welcoming and engaging for talented individuals of all ages. Based on years of in-depth research and three books on generations in the workforce, Tammy Erickson helps audiences understand the underlying evolution of the assumptions each generation brings to work, with humor, empathy and enormous insight.

OCTAVE is a genuine learning seminar for “Culture & Change” which focuses on change management in the digital era, taking advantage of all the generations.
WHY OCTAVE ? The Octave Program originated from the idea of how we could make use of all the generations in the company. The name Octave comes from the fact that the company is like a piano, which tends to play on just the two central octaves – the generations of 30-50 year-olds – while neglecting the lower and higher octaves.
New technologies are radically changing our relationship with work, knowledge, authority and time. Above all, these are the elements that have the greatest impact on relationships among the generations.
It has become essential for our companies to evolve from a baby boomer culture to a millennial culture.
