World’s Collide: Generational Diversity is Your Superpower

At Business of Software USA 2025, IDRsolutions’ very own Mark Stephens and Chika Emebo are tackling a challenge every SaaS company is facing: How to bring out the best when different generations are working side by side.

We live in an age where the workplace is home to Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Zoomers. Each group arrives with different formative experiences, methods of communication and even expectations of work! That mix provides enormous potential, yet it also creates plenty of scope for frustration and misunderstanding if left unchecked.

Chika, a proud Zoomer and Mark, an avid Gen Xer, will break away from tired stereotypes and dig into what really sets these generations apart. More importantly, they will share how companies can transform those differences into strengths!

The biggest opportunity is not just about balancing skill sets, but also about embracing diverse perspectives and finding new ways to collaborate.

Chika and Mark’s talk with cover:

  • How to understand the values and motivations that drive each generation.
  • Practical techniques for bridging communication gaps that slow teams down.
  • Ways to unlock cross-generational collaboration that leads to more innovation.

In SaaS, where the pace is fast and the pressure is high, resilient and high-functioning teams can be your greatest competitive advantage. Mark and Chika will provide a practical roadmap to help leaders and teams maximise this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Generational diversity does not have to be a recipe for disaster. With the right mindset, it becomes a superpower, a way to build stronger, more creative and more adaptable organisations.
