Foundation for Diversity participated in the first edition of the workshop entitled “Generational Challenge: A step-by-step guide to including age management in your company’s strategy.”
The workshop was organized by mYmO, the nonprofit organization specializing in creating spaces for Intergenerational Dialogue on Diversity and Age Management.
At the #GenerationalChallenge , not only was the participants’ generational diversity ensured, with almost all age groups represented, but so was the diversity of approaches to organizational management and development.
At the workshop, Foundation for Diversity was joined by the Public Administration, the French business school ESCP Europe, and Ilunion, as well as managers and directors of HR, Talent, and Development from medium-sized and large companies, including Fersay, Janyflor, Kadentia, and Iberdrola.
Eleonora Barone, founder and director of mYmO, introduced the Generational Challenge as the challenge we face as citizens, organizations, and society when confronting the social, demographic, economic, and environmental changes in which we are fully immersed.
Using a concise canvas, each of the professionals participating in the workshop outlined priority actions to implement upon returning “home,” with the aim of identifying the most appropriate area of action for beginning to introduce generational diversity management within their own organizations, while recognizing the system of relationships and proposals needed for each action. From their respective perspectives and based on their needs, they each contributed their experience and vision to advancing the effort to raise awareness among individuals and organizations about Diversity Management, which also includes the age variable, not only gender and functional diversity, the aspects most commonly addressed today.
The workshop created the right context for generating high-quality reflections and transforming a group of strangers into a working team with a common purpose: investigating diversity in order to define specific actions for each participant to take in their own field.
The workshop was conducted through four main stages. First, an introduction to the benefits and outcomes of implementing Age Management from a global and systemic perspective; visualization of the differences in each participant’s viewpoints when forming a picture of reality, reaching a consensus that “the map is not the territory”; experimentation with the LEGO Serious Game methodology applied to diversity to co-create the way forward; and finally, transferring the day’s reflections into a Diversity Business Model Canvas.
