Attracting Young Minds to the Automated Buildings Sector

AutomatedBuildings.com’s Ken Sinclair on attracting more young people into automated buildings services and technologies:

We are all getting older, but not necessarily wiser and our deep understanding of the IoT cloud consuming our industry is not our known strength.  Our deep understanding of an industry that creates our present definition of smart, intelligent, integrated, connected, green, and converged large automated buildings is our strength. Our industry has seen us grow, coming in from the weeds as an industry known by a few, to achieving social acceptance and understanding, to our latest position as a major player in the IoT because of our deep knowledge of how to automate things and our understanding of what is already connected.

Although we have moved from obscurity to high visibility our industry is unknown to the youth that are the only feedstock to grow our industry.  For the survival of our industry we need to reach out and engage the bright minds who have grown up with the chaos created by technological innovation “the IoT” and share with them the wisdom and reason of our grey hairs and our lives and loves of planting, growing, and nurturing truly smart intelligent buildings.

We need to create a new collaboratory around our world that includes their world.  You will be amazed at how this will increase our assets as an industry.

So where do we start? 

We need to get those amazing bright minds to notice our industry, so we can show them how much fun and exciting our industry has become, plus we need to tell them how much we need them and their mobile clouded views of how life is unfolding with the IoT.

How do we do that? 

My start is this article which I will post on several LinkedIn groups and Twitter@ with a request for input from industry.  Please feel free to feedback in the medium which you found this request. How do I really reach them on their social media of the day?  I have no idea.  We can only hope that our pitch is convincing enough for them to share with each other however they best do that.

Why would they want to know us? 

All of us in this industry enjoy a great life style, having fun creating what has never been done before, while saving the world with significant reductions in energy and environmental impact.  We all share in the personal pride of our creations and at the end of the day we all get paid to do this, a big bonus in today’s world. The mobile cloud and its ability to enhance our lives, that we are just discovering, is where these young minds live, it is their environment and a great place to meet and talk about the future.

We all need to write about how much fun and purpose our industry has and why these young folks need to be part of it.
