How do you work with millennials? Why can't we stop talking about millennials? But the oldest millennials are now approaching 35: They're already part of the work culture. The next big step is for organizations to also begin thinking about Generation Z, those born in the mid-'90s to early ‘00s.
Generation Z currently makes up a quarter of the U.S. population, and more than 20 million of them about to enter the workforce, all fueled by their own motivations and needs.

“We include a variety of backgrounds and a variety of different kinds of thinking and skill sets in our team,” says Scenario Project Lead Maryln Walton, “to develop broad thinking and to spread the experience into as many parts of the organization as we can.” Based on their expertise, visiting participants were asked to tell stories about the future.
