Shades of Grey: Stage not Age

New US CEOs are now averaging 58 years old, and 62 as the average
age of the top performing CEOs in the world, the companies they run
spend 500% more to attract millennial customers.

In this episode of Shades of Grey, Arun Krishnakumar and Theodora
Lau are joined by Bradley Schurman and Lilian Myers, the
Co-Founders of EconomyFour. EconomyFour helps companies,
policymakers, and people understand and fulfill the promise of a
100 year life.

Thanks to advancement in healthcare, we are in an ageing world.
Global demographic shift continues to strain governments and health
services facing more people in post-retirement entitlement programs
than in the tax-paying workforce. Yet a fast-moving change is
underway as vital, vibrant individuals passing the half-way mark in
a 100-year-life see themselves, not ‘retreating’ form economic
engagement, but running hard in it.  And they will control
US$15T in global spending power by 2020.

Brad and Lilian highlight the challenges and opportunities for
businesses to innovate around the ageing population. Lilian says
"For me it's coming back to normal", referring to her transition
back into the startup world with Economy Four, and Brad says
"Inclusion at the end of the day is the No 1 goal". 

Listen in for more insights from Brad, Lilian, Arun and Theo on the
opportunities in an ageing world.
