We are obsessed with aging baby boomers and their impact on social security and health care. We are also completely misguided. True to character, baby boomers are so self-absorbed that we are missing the larger and more important demographic truth - the burgeoning new workforce.

In the US, 45 million people will be entering the workforce in the coming decade. Simply put, more people are poised to enter the workforce than to retire.

In skills and expectations this coming generation differs dramatically from Baby Boomers who control political and business decision making today. They are better educated, more adept at using technology, and more global in their perspective.

 There are more 15 to 25 year olds in the US today than there are 45 to 55 year olds.

So can we please stop gnashing our hands about the manufactured (and conceited) crisis of the aging workforce and begin to focus on this tidal wave of new workers?

What is the future of work? New Stealth Co is born out of a desire to improve that future. In the good old days there wasn’t going to be any work in the future. Maybe just bossing some robots around. But here we are. It’s nearly 2010, we have robots yet we work harder than ever. In the future we will probably need to be even more productive. We will need to work faster, with more far-flung groups across barriers of language and time zone. Why does that excite me?

I have been lucky enough to work with groups of very talented people spread all over the world with a diversity of experience and expertise. We have been lucky enough to build businesses and products that make a difference for companies and people.

But even though we had the latest personal technologies and our companies had the best enterprise technologies we could have used better team technology. As good as our results were, they could have been better. That’s what drives New Stealth Co.
