In the study Nurhas designed a framework with eight groups of competencies, and five group barriers that play an essential role in intergenerational collaboration.

The competency and barrier framework guides the development of an intergenerational system of five basic design principles for system design in intergenerational partnership. The framework helps to consider what socio-technical features should be considered in the design of an technological innovation among other thing.

“These design principles and frameworks can be used in system design to help startup entrepreneurs determine if they are ready to work with people from different generations”, Nurhas says.

The framework also helps to ensure that aspects of well-being are more fully considered in technology design.

The findings of the study can be used by researchers, educators, developers and policymakers in the fields of information systems design, entrepreneurship, and user experience. The results can also guide reflection on universal technology for all ages, how digital technology can be leveraged for any organization, and how well-being-focused system design can help support (age) diversity and facilitate collaboration among people.

This can lead to new ways, strategies, and innovations in information systems design and socio-technical interventions.

The study was conducted with the support of the Institute for Positive Computing at the Ruhr West University of Applied Sciences in Germany.
