The young generate the future. But young thinking is part of a collective intelligence that transcends generations. It has no age. Steel companies (among others), are still largely family-owned and the new generations (sons, daughters, new recruits) are injecting energy and the ability to innovate. This is what the press defines 'generational accompaniment'. A definition that has sent the dreaded and ever-postponed 'generational transition' into the trash. Transition refers to a watershed: someone leaves, someone arrives.

Reality is much more complex and fascinating because it thrives on skills as well as feelings. Fathers and sons, fathers and daughters, are shaping together a new story and a new narrative.
