Tamara J. Erickson is a McKinsey Award-winning author and widely respected expert on collaboration and innovation–on building talent and enhancing productivity–and on the nature of work in the intelligent economy. Her work is based on extensive research on the changing workforce and employee values and, most recently, on how successful organizations innovate through collaboration.
Tammy has authored or co-authored numerous Harvard Business Review articles and she recently completed a trilogy of books on how individuals in specific generations can excel in today’s workplace including What’s Next, Gen X? Keeping Up, Moving Ahead and Getting the Career You Want, Plugged In : The Generation Y Guide to Thriving at Work, and Workforce Crisis : How to Beat the Coming Shortage of Skills and Talent.
Tammy offers a fundamentally optimistic point of view, along with fascinating trends and actionable counsel. Perhaps more importantly, she will build-to-suit, depending on your learning objectives. Her blog, Across the Ages, appears on the Harvard Business School Publishing site where it is the highest-rated blog.
Her entries address how the talent shortage and shifting employee values will create opportunities for individuals—and challenges for corporations that aren't prepared!
Tammy's article "Leading Across the Ages" was one of Harvard Business Review's Breakthrough Ideas of 2008. Recently she partnered with a team at London Business School to conduct one of the largest and most rigorous studies of collaborative team behavior within organizations and how it supports innovation. With this, her work comes full circle, back to exploring the forces capturing people's passions, allowing organizations to become more collaborative and innovative.
