Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I think this is a growing area of study and interest because there are some great examples of individual organisations setting in place schemes that deliberately bring different generations together around a particular problem or strategy. or open up competitions across generations.
And you can see that those organizations who start to do those types of things end up being more innovative, coming up with more ideas. They're more resilient and adaptable. And I think the key to that is connecting people, getting over those stereotypes. And the only way to get over those stereotypes and think of each other as assets to the business is to have more contact.

Yeah, I think the first bit of the tips on this, I think, is to not be overly worried about the difference, that people aren't as different as the stereotypes that you'll have seen. Then the second point is that we are living much more separately across the generations than we have at any point in human history. We've kind of sorted young people into cities, older people outside.

We've got digital lives where different generations are doing very different things on different platforms. to different intensities. So the workplace is one of the few places where we're pushed together. Connections across the generations benefit both the older and the younger side of that equally.
