Bridging The Gap: Generations, Education and Development
25th February 2026
Event Details
Date: Wednesday 25th February 2026
Location: Zoom
Macildowie’s next Transactional and Finance Connect Forum brings together senior finance professionals for an open, discussion-led session focused on one of the biggest challenges facing leaders today:
managing and developing people across different generations and experience levels.
This will be an open table discussion, not a presentation.
We’ll explore issues many managers and teams are navigating every day, including:
Leading across different generations and experience levels
Supporting junior development without overloading more experienced team members
Newer managers leading colleagues with longer tenure
Navigating different communication styles and expectations
The reality versus the promise of different education routes (AAT, degrees, apprenticeships, ACCA,
CIMA, ACA)
Alongside this, we’ll share practical insight into how organisations can better bridge capability gaps, strengthen leadership confidence and build future-ready finance teams.
Rather than presentations, the session is built around honest conversation, shared experience and practical takeaways that attendees can apply immediately within their teams.
