    Deloitte Consulting completes the value exchange tool to show why it allied with New Profit, Inc. a leading venture philanthropy fund for three years. Brilliant use of graphics in tool--example, empty, and completed, that shows how partnerships between for- and not-for-profit entites should be evaluated before commitment. Choosing whether and how to partner is made easier by viewing any potential partnership arrangement through the lens of four contributions that an organization might provide: reach, assets, reputation, and capabilities. The Value Exchange Tool is a simple method for considering what a partner could potentially contribute, stacking up what a potential partner brings, and representing the value exchange at the heart of the partnership in a single visual.

  • The old rules of work applied to an economy of factories and offices, a world of "standard," stable employment with large employers, over careers with more or less predictable trajectories. The new rules belong to another universe—flexible, precarious, and entrepreneurial, less and less tied to specific times, places, and employers.
  • Old Rule: You have a full-time job with benefits. New Rule: You go from gig to gig, project to project.
  • Old Rule: Work is "9-to-5" New Rule: You’re on call 24-7.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Old Rule: You commute into an office every day. New Rule: Work can happen wherever you are, anywhere in the world.
  • Old Rule: Work-life balance is about two distinct, separate spheres. New Rule: For Better Or Worse The Line Between Work And Life Is Almost Entirely Disappearing.
  • Old Rule: You work for money, to support yourself and your family. New Rule: You work because you’re "passionate" about a "movement" or a "cause"—you have to "love what you do."

  • A new study from Merrill Lynch addresses the myths and motivations around retirement. Nearly three out of five retirees launch into a new line of work after retirement, according to the study, and working retirees are three times more likely to be entrepreneurs than pre-retirees.
  • "Retirement today is a much more dynamic and fluid process where people re-invent themselves and go through phases of transition."
  • If you’re not ready to fully jump into entrepreneurship, but want to stay active in your field, Wald suggests considering part-time consultancy. Staying relevant in their industries for retirees means keeping up with technological advances, and staying in touch with former colleagues—not faking the latest cool gadgets to appear younger.

shared by Doris Reeves-Lipscomb on 09 Jun 15 - No Cached
  • Part of the reason more workers aren't making the transition into retirement jobs is that many companies aren't set up to accommodate flexible working arrangements,
  • The majority of the 28 percent of retired middle-class boomers who either are working or have worked for pay during retirement say it's not because finances forced them to but because they wanted to work. The extra money's nice, they say, but so is staying mentally alert, keeping active, having a sense of purpose and staying in touch with colleagues.

    Great article--book review of Unretirement from September 23, 2014 by Geoffrey Norman with quotes from Bobby Bowden (long-time FSU football coach) and Mick Jagger (long-time singer of "Satisfaction") on how our desire to work, engage with others, and pursue our interests doesn't diminish upon reaching "retirement age." Book review is positive, funny, worth reading if you like Chris, Bobby, or Mick and their contributions to understanding the impact of baby boomers and living full, long lives.
