Sarah Sladek argues that organizations need cognitive diversity and intergenerational collaboration to stay relevant. Bringing together people of different ages, skills, and backgrounds breaks silos, prevents hierarchy, and lets younger perspectives shape what comes next.
really what solves it all is cognitive diversity. That idea that let's bring people together of different skill sets and backgrounds and experience levels and co-create and problem solve together. And again, that's been proven to have multiple benefits when we can do that and be less siloed in our approaches and less hierarchical, but actually see the value in a different perspective. And making sure that our organizations are relevant to people of all ages. See, what's happening right now is we're literally aging out and becoming increasingly irrelevant because we stopped talking. We're not talking to young people or thinking with that future focus at all. We're just embroiled in the, in the present day or sometimes the past.
