What Do We Do With Zoomers?

A new generation has arrived – and they’re set to surpass Millennials as the most populous generation on Earth. By 2030, they’ll make up at least 25% of our AI-driven workforce, and they’re the first generation to already be AI-literate. They are our future… so why are we complaining?

Gen Z (Zoomers) refuse to fit into neat little boxes. They’re diverse, adaptable, and both digitally and AI-literate. In the workforce of the future (which is here now, and evolving fast), we need their flexibility more than ever. A workplace built around this generation – powered by technology and innovation – will be future-proof.

Workforce Planning for the AI Generation

AI is not a magic wand you wave over your workforce. It demands a strategic playbook!

Workforce planning was traditionally known as headcount planning, but times have changed. With the speed of AI augmentation, we need to ensure our workforce capabilities align to our strategic objectives. And by strategic playbook we don’t just mean for today or even 12 months from now, we mean for our future success.

    It’s Time to Ditch the 9-Box Grid!

    We are in a new era! Traditional talent management tools are struggling to keep up with the pace of change in our workplaces. The 9-box grid—once a staple of succession planning—no longer reflects the agility, skills, and potential that modern organisations need to thrive.

    Organisations that embrace dynamic, skills-based talent strategies will see stronger performance, greater innovation, and a competitive edge in attracting top talent. Holding on to outdated methods risks stalling growth and missing out on high-potential employees.

    It’s time to rethink how we identify and develop talent.

      What is Accountability in 2025

      The workforce is evolving. Millennials now represent the largest working generation, and according to the latest Gallup report, they – not Gen Z – are the most demanding when it comes to job expectations. Their top priority? Work-life balance.

      As employees prioritise flexibility, leaders driving productivity and accountability must adapt. Less driving for results, more drawing out impact… Less push and more pull. This is a full 180-degree shift for leadership, and it is not the only change needed.

        How ARAMEX returned millions in ROI from leadership development

        Back in 2023, a chance meeting in Dubai, with Roxane Deschambault, Global Director of Learning & Development at Aramex, turned into a longer coffee and a deep discussion about how we could make their Senior Leadership Development program more effective and deliver a measurable result.

        We launched the Thrive Leadership Program in 2024 and the ROI was phenomenal, so much so that the CEO and CFO immediately commissioned a sequel.
