As businesses face both acute short-term issues and critical long-term challenges, their leaders need to balance the impacts of decisions across multiple timescales. Achieving this may be complicated by the significant rise in CEOs' average age over the past two decades. Balancing experience and curiosity can help businesses tackle challenges and improve their competitive edge by fostering renewal. This session explores the potential and practicalities of embracing intergenerational leadership for age diversity in corporate leadership. We'll discuss practical strategies for businesses to leverage experienced and emerging leaders, fostering forward-thinking, inclusive governance.

ABOUT THE ST. GALLEN SYMPOSIUM
The St. Gallen Symposium is the world’s leading initiative for intergenerational debates on economic, political and social developments. The symposium takes place annually in May at the University of St.Gallen, Switzerland.
The St. Gallen Symposium is annually organised by the International Students’ Committee (ISC), an independent student initiative at the University of St.Gallen. For ten months, a team of approximately 30 students voluntarily engages in the challenging task of organising an outstanding St. Gallen Symposium. During the symposium week, the ISC Team is supported by about 450 student volunteers. Three members of last year’s team are taking up the role of Head of the Organising Committee.
