\nThe generational conflict in the skilled trades is a huge obstacle to the digital transformation of businesses.<\/p>\n

Many employees who have been in the workforce for 40 or nearly 50 years don\u2019t feel at home in the digital age – whether due to a lack of interest or a lack of understanding of the technology.
\nIf you\u2019re lucky, some of them now use smartphones in their personal lives or have had no choice but to get a new smart TV. But let\u2019s be honest: These devices are usually set up by their children or grandchildren. <\/p>\n

So this generation is now coming into contact with digital natives, who can no longer imagine everyday life without smart devices. And that includes their daily work lives. \ud83d\udcf1<\/p>\n

So, should we just leave the older generations behind and overwhelm them with new tools? No!
\nShould we put off digitizing the company until the analog generation retires? No! <\/p>\n

Because while you’re waiting, others rush right past you.
\nAnd by the time you’re finally ready, it’s hard to catch up.<\/p>\n
