The slideshow mentions that Millennials like their large tasks broken up into manageable chunks with successes celebrated along the way. Who doesn't like that? Is there a waterfall mentality in non-tech fields still?
I've also read that the way to handle a generation of gamers is to humor them with clearly defined goals, regular feedback, and involvement in decision making. Again this seems universal rather than an exasperating personality unique to kids. Was there a recent generation that happily served as unthinking, unfeeling, unquestioning drones?
This is all a bit hard for this millennial to swallow. Frankly these analyses feel like another case of analysts telling their clients what they want to hear rather than offering any new insight. [1]

- mclin 17y agoIs there a waterfall mentality in non-tech fields still? I would assume yes, especially if there is an academic component to the field, and it's based on a social science (ie theories are unprovable). PhD's design the crap out of things, and then pass it on for implementation, during which, half their design assumptions will prove wrong. The only example I have is esoteric: library science. others? Journalism?
