First, I think the Gen Y attitude towards technology, and perhaps towards life in general (just do it!) will definately rub off over time.

The question for me is, how can an organization accelerate that effect? I think that recognizing the power of the new “diversity” that Gen Y’s bring to the talent pool, and proactively encouraging that diversity, can accelerate that effect. For example, deliberately hiring Gen Y’s where possible, rather than only bring in so-called “seasoned” talent; leveraging practices such as “reverse mentoring” to give these Gen Y folk a real “voice” in the organization can all help accelerate this kind of transformation and the benefits it will bring for the shift to Enterprise 2.0.

With all the hype about the tech savvy Gen Y’s entering the workplace, do you think that their attitude towards technology will rub off enough to assist with the required mindset shift?
