We talk with Nouran (Noor) Elsherbiny from T-Systems International about a unique program that brings Generation Z into the boardroom. Not only that! Every Gen Z CTO (Chief Tomorrow Officer) is given the opportunity to work on a pressing question of today's society together with experts inside the company.

Noor has convinced us in the conversation that every company should have a Chief Tomorrow Program, or similar initiative to engage the up- and coming generation into their business. This is a critical way of making your company future-proof today.

Learn in this episode:
- how the Chief Tomorrow Officer program at T-Systems is organized
- how the company recruits Gen Z talent
- what role social media plays in this
- what results have been achieved so far
- how you can connect with Gen Z, do business with them and recruit them for your business
- how T-Systems is supporting other companies in attracting Gen Z talent

With all of this, we are also looking at the key characteristics of Generation Z, and as a bonus topic we talk about T-Systems' social selling program that Noor also manages.
