Reverse mentoring
The rapid technological, social and cultural changes have created a huge gap between the generations of today's business decision-makers (aged 40-60+) and young adults - people entering the labor market and the consumer market (aged 16-25). This gap in understanding the world and approach to life is greater than ever. It poses new challenges for management staff. It is impossible to meet them without insight into what understanding of what is happening today and what vision of the world in the future young adults have. That is why Reverse mentoring creates a program of intergenerational education and inspiration, in which the dialogue of people from different worlds becomes an innovative development tool for managers and an incentive to create a business development strategy that will respond to current and upcoming challenges.
