Q2, 2026 ISSUE OUT NOW

We are in a new era of work. For the first time, five generations rub shoulders at work. Driven by new global demographics, from advanced economies’ aging societies to emerging markets’ booming young populations, it is a unique moment in the evolution of our collective human brainpower. Yet it comes at a time when the very idea of intelligence is being redefined by technology.

In the Q2 2026 of Dialogue, our Focus features examine how leaders can cultivate collective intelligence, drawing on multiple generations of human talent in harmony with artificial intelligence. As we look forward to longer lives, we explore the concept of longevity leadership. We consider ways to adapt to the needs of workers who are caregivers. We puncture the myths that lead to a focus on Gen Z at the expense of the bigger challenges of building cross-generational connection. And we assess how to create workplaces that work for people of all ages.
