[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Business technology has not changed in 10 years.

[/quote]

OMG - if the business technology you're using hasn't significantly changed in the last 10 years... I hate to break the news, you are seriously outdated.

I see it with my mid-40s/early 50s coworkers. Unwilling to start using collaborative features of Microsoft Office, never heard of something like Chili Piper/Calendly/Bookings, can't adjust to communication norms over Slack or Teams, run super disengaging virtual meetings, can't comprehend how to build team culture remotely, struggle to understand short communication forms like Twitter or short-form video, don't understand how to use data analytics and dashboards available to them in their existing tools. Massive under-utilization of technology. And they think they are with it because they know how to make something a PDF and didn't forget to attach it to the email.

If you're still using technology largely the same way you were 10 years ago, and if you still run most of your communication through email - you are equivalent of the people in the late 90s/early 2000s who refused to give up fax or asked their assistant to print out emails for them. [/quote]
