29-01-2025 • 37 mins

As we step into an era where living to 100 is no longer an anomaly, how should leaders rethink work, talent, and organizational design? On this episode of Leadership NOW, Simon Chan, CEO and Founder of Adapt With Intent, joins the conversation to challenge outdated workplace models and explore how organizations can better harness the power of an age-diverse workforce. “We’re not just an aging population; we’re an age-diverse one,” he says. With careers stretching beyond the traditional 40-year arc, companies must embrace flexible work arrangements, leverage experienced talent, and reimagine leadership structures. Simon shares how organizations can approach longevity as a design challenge—one that meets the needs of both younger and older talent while unlocking innovation and institutional knowledge. From flexible work setups to intergenerational collaboration, the future of work demands a shift in mindset. If leaders fail to adapt, they risk missing out on a massive economic and strategic opportunity.
