Every day, recruitment managers, consultants and their clients need to work with a diverse generational mix of Gen-Y, Gen-X and the Baby Boomers.

Sometimes it can turn into an intergenerational minefield, where tensions and miscommunication negatively impact productivity, relationships and eventually, the bottom line.

Anders Sorman-Nilsson will teach you how to build cross-generational teams that fire on all cylinders. He will give you the tools and insights you need to create a workplace where ideas cross-pollinate across all of your team – regardless of their age or background.

As recruiters and suppliers we are at the epicentre of the upended global talent crisis, and all play a vital role in the talent life cycle.

This breakfast think tank guarantees to be thought-provoking, feather-ruffling, innovative and fun. It represents the forward-thinking movement ‘from awareness to funky solutions’, and will provide you with plenty of food for thought and concrete advice on how to maximise your Return on Thinking in a world that is a little out of whack.
