Young talent | Business Brief

Published on: 23rd June, 2026

Who will run your business in the future? Young people are incredibly attractive for our consumer segmentations and future talent pool, but they are served up strategies and solutions more than they are involved in them. Perhaps that is why they feel distrustful of leaders, disconnected from the consequences of their decisions and mentally exhausted from 'performative' inclusion initiatives. In this Business Brief, Jo highlights research on effective youth involvement.

Business Brief is a (very brief, just 5 mins) new solo series hosted by Looking Outside podcast host, foresight strategist Jo Lepore.
