Topic : Career Agility: Future-proof your Career in a Time of Disruption and Change
The modern economy is shifting away from traditional steady employment patterns and accompanying worker mindsets, towards increasingly dynamic and often fleeting lifecycles. The project economy is taking center stage in a time of dramatic change. The rapid moves to online programming and digital work environments will forever change what it means to work and manage business.
Company longevity is in decline and the employer-employee relationship is evolving to meet the needs of the future workplace.
