The Six Forces Shaping the Future of Business
We had the baby boomers and Generation X. So what’s next? A generation truly unlike anything that came before it: Generation Z. But before diving into what today’s kids mean for our future, let’s take a closer look at how generations have shaped our recent history.
Every generation has its own character, defined by the conditions they faced growing up. While a young person coming of age in the 1940s faced the terrors of the Second World War, the following generation – the Boomers – grew up in a society that strove for peace. Some issues, such as terrorism and economic crisis, may bridge generations.
Yet until now, generational differences have created well-known divides between demographics. And it’s not just a matter of you disagreeing with your parents. Research by the authors reveals that innovative thinking in companies is often hindered by the tension between old and new.
However, workplaces that are divided by generational differences simply won’t survive in the years to come. Why? Because the next generation is a different one altogether, with six driving forces that give it the potential to reach incredible success – if we can learn to adapt.
The Gen Z Effect (2014) shines a light on the changes that we face in a hyperconnected world, both as individuals and in business. By embracing the mind-set and innovations of Generation Z, we can manage these changes and unite to create a brighter future for a world that no longer divides itself into generations.
We are all – if we care to be – builders of the future.
