MAIN CONFERENCE DAY 2 – 20 October 2026, Tuesday

11:20 AM Keynote Panel: How do you redesign your team's ways of working to accommodate four generations with fundamentally different expectations around autonomy, collaboration and career progression to reduce friction and unlock collective performance?

• How do you identify and bridge the gaps between what Boomers, Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z each need from their working environment — without creating a fragmented team culture that pulls in different directions? 

• How do you redesign workflows, meeting structures and collaboration models so that every generation can contribute at their best, regardless of how they prefer to work? 
• How do you build career progression frameworks that feel meaningful and motivating to a 55-year-old seasoned professional and a 25-year-old early-career hire at the same time? 
• How do you lead a multigenerational team through change — whether that is a new technology, a restructure or a shift in strategy — when each generation responds to change so differently?
