Bridging the Divide: Preparing Your Workers for Generational Change

Recorded live at the 2025 ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego, this session featured Antoinette Chukudebelu, Chief People & Equity Officer at Murmuration; Lee-Berkeley Shaw, Chief Engagement & Partnership Officer at CWI Works; Stephanie Marken, Senior Partner at Gallup; Susan Gouijnstook, Chief Solutions Officer at Jobs for the Future; and Khurram Jamil, President of Global Markets at Area9 Lyceum.

The session explored the unprecedented collaboration of five generations in today’s workplace and examined how organizations can support a multigenerational workforce amid rapid technological change. While much attention is often given to Gen Z’s role in tech-enabled innovation, the speakers emphasized the vital contributions of older workers and the importance of inclusive environments. They shared strategies for bridging generational gaps, integrating AI, and fostering skills development to empower workers of all ages to thrive together in the future of work.
