Intergenerational communities of practice: shedding new light on older workers?

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to lay the groundwork for a large-scale prescriptive\nresearch project on organizing intergenerational communities of practice as a way to\nhelp organizations deal with some of the problems an ageing worker population brings\nwith it. After a definition of the problem, a review of four seminal works on\ncommunities of practice was done to see if organizing intergenerational communities of\npractice might in fact be a viable solution to the problems of an ageing organizational\npopulation. Results are encouraging and lead to the conclusion that management might\nstart to consider organizing these communities as a way to shed new light on older\nworkers.
