One of the most effective and creative ways is to create cross-generational teams . There are two benefits to using this approach. First, team members develop a greater appreciation for the power and perspective of the other generations. Second, each generation will approach the problem from different aspects. Their unique experiences will suggest possible solutions that might not be considered outside of a single generational perspective.
Managers will need to create these teams carefully. There are certain ideal generational pairings that foster tremendous synergy. Other parings will take more thought and guidance to be productive.
