"A world of five active generations creates unprecedented opportunities for innovation, connection, and shared prosperity - not to mention opportunities to help to fix a broken society." - Futurist Jim Carroll

"Oh, the places he'll go, the things he'll see!"

I became a granddad yesterday for the first time. Welcome Mason!

For the first time, we are routinely seeing five generations simultaneously active in society. This creates unprecedented challenges and opportunities for wealth transfer, housing, care systems, and intergenerational business models. It's a pretty significant trend, and one often not covered. If you'd like, you can dig it in more depth in my report, The Five-Generation Society: Navigating the Global Challenges and Opportunities of Intergenerational Expansion (2025-2035). Here's the PDF.

We are, globally, in the midst of an unprecedented demographic shift. For the first time in human history, five distinct generations are simultaneously active in society at scale, creating a demographic phenomenon that is fundamentally reshaping wealth transfer, housing, care systems, and business models worldwide.

The simple fact is, while wonderfully inspiring, the trend presents some pretty significant systemic challenges.

Existing models for wealth transfer, housing, and care are inadequate for supporting a larger, older population while meeting the needs of younger people, creating potential for social friction and conflict over resources. It' an extraordinary opportunity, though, in that this demographic shift is fueling a multi-trillion-dollar "Longevity Economy" and a booming "AgeTech" market projected to reach $120 billion by 2030, precipitating the largest intergenerational wealth transfer in history.

There are some pretty simple demographic and scientific trends at work here!

MIT researchers ask a deceptively simple question to cut through leadership noise: “Whom do I serve?” They mapped six distinct mindsets: Sociopath, Egoist, Chameleon, Dynamo, Builder, and Transcender. What’s compelling is the flexibility leaders can tap into: a portfolio of mindsets tuned to different challenges. Self‑awareness about your dominant mindset and its blind spots can help build better teams and align impact with purpose.

TL;DR
🧠 Your mindset reflects whom you serve
⚠️ Some mindsets carry ethical risk
🏗️ Dynamo executes goals efficiently
🌍 Transcender serves society at large

Are you wondering what happens when I take requests on my blog?

This week, the good folks at @index challenged me to discuss the theory of constraints and accountability in greater detail.

I argue that the theory of constraints can help make our businesses more accountable.

Bring the kids.

"Digital natives aren't just changing the workplace-they're accelerating humanity's boldest innovations while older resistance fades away." - Futurist Jim Carroll

As digital natives – kids who have never known a world without technology, the Internet, and social media – become the majority workforce and leadership cohort, we are seeing accelerated acceptance of new paradigms that would have faced resistance from previous generations. Boomers, with their change-resistant attitudes, no longer hold back the future.

"They're not like us." That's the common refrain from most baby boomers and many senior executives today. And that much is true. I've been cognizant of this for a long, long time, often noting that I used to run 'change management workshops.' That is, until a young person came up to me about 20 years ago and said, 'Why can't you people just change already?"

I write the entire theme of generational transformation as one of THE major trends in my book Surviving the Information Age, noting the breadth and scope of what might happen once the first change-embracing generation took over the world. We're smack dab in the middle of that trend now - but in fact, we've only just begun to see its implications. With that in mind, I bring you The Great Generational Transformation: How Digital Natives are Reshaping the Global Economy (2025-2035). 

What's up? The decade between 2025 and 2035 will mark a fundamental and irreversible transfer of economic, cultural, and operational power within the global workforce. The boomers, with their resistance to change ingrained in many of their mindsets till the end, are finally leaving the workforce, and you people are taking over. And as these digital natives—Millennials and Generation Z—transition from workforce participants to the leadership cohort, they are driving a great rebalancing that will restructure the global economy in massive ways!

This transformation, occurring simultaneously with the adoption of artificial intelligence, mounting climate pressures, and geopolitical realignments, creates a perfect storm of change that demands immediate strategic response from global organizations.

It's a perfect storm of change:
