The Club of Rome’s Fifth Element
The future of business is intergenerational
'A new report released by the UN Youth Office, the St. Gallen Symposium and The Club of Rome is calling on businesses to embrace intergenerational leadership as a driver of innovation, sustainability, and long-term success.
Titled How Intergenerational Leadership Unlocks Innovation and Sustainability in Business, the report outlines how the widening age gap in corporate leadership—where the average CEO is 56.8 years old while the global workforce median age is 39.6—risks holding back progress.
It argues that involving younger generations meaningfully in decision-making across all levels of an organisation creates forward-thinking institutions that are more responsive to the complex challenges facing the world today, while also ensuring long-term sustainability.'
