We live in a time when change is increasingly the rule rather than the norm. We are going through a period of transformation at a global level, with particular emphasis on the speed of change. Growing and thriving in a world that is constantly changing requires innovation, proactivity and agility in attitudes and options. Values and ways of being in life will be more demanding at work, requiring personal commitment, tolerance and ambition. We will have to be more agile. We are living in a double perspective: technological growth and the implications it has for the economy and society. There are propensities that are confirmed and this is one of them. So, prepare yourself for the unpredictable.
