Topic:		Mass Career Customization: A New Model for How Careers Are Built.
Details:		Shifts in demographics, values and expectations are changing not only how people look at where, when and how they work – but also the way they view their careers. Our guests Anne Weisberg and Lauren Bergida, both from Deloitte and both former practicing attorneys, will describe a new model for how to build careers called Mass Career Customization.™ Anne, co-author of Mass Career Customization: Aligning the Workplace with Today's Nontraditional Workforce (Harvard Business School Press, 2007) and a Director in Deloitte's Talent organization, will explain the business case behind MCC, which is centered on the powerful insight that the career journey of knowledge workers like lawyers looks less like a straight line up the partner track and more like a sine wave of sorts. Lauren, a consultant in the Human Capital practice at Deloitte, will describe how MCC is being rolled out and what it means to an organization's talent management systems and processes. MCC's innovative framework does for careers what mass product customization has done for consumer goods – increased loyalty, decreased acquisition and retention costs and increased productivity resulting from a better career-life fit.
