Clarity Is the New Source of Power in AI. Who Is Creating It? By Neil Dhar | Senior Vice President, Americas Consulting March 23, 2026 AI is not just transforming industries.

Everyone else will operate inside frameworks they did not help build.
Four generations are currently represented in the workforce: Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. Each of these cohorts has been shaped by world events and changes in technology that drive differences in where and how they prefer to work. As employers compete to attract and retain top talent, these generation gaps have real-world impacts on how companies develop their location and workplace strategies.
