Steering Collaboration Toward the Next Generations. (Finally) Moving Beyond 20th-Century Thinking

Six generations now work side by side, and two centuries meet inside organizations: Baby Boomers still in charge, Gen Z less represented but carrying new expectations. Competitive advantage emerges when work is redesigned with younger people – engagement, recognition, experimentation. Otherwise, stress increases and talent leaves. Longer lives are extending careers: we need tools and active labour-market policies that guide choices and turn ideas into high-quality employment, without replicating 20th-century templates.
