The economic, social and political context shows it every day: « there is nothing permanent except change ». (Heraclitus)

 

Markets, competition, production techniques and information technologies, so as expectations of clients and employees: everything evolves, constantly and with ever-growing speed, at least it’s the feeling we have.

 

What can be done to stay up-to-date? Adapting to change: of course, but is this enough? To ensure a sustainable business, change not only needs to be managed, it must be anticipated. And what is the first necessary resource in a change and innovation process? The employees.

 

Creating a working environment that is attractive, that values people and empowers them is key for a long lasting success of any organization. By that we mean a framework that generates the engagement of the employees and enables the development of their agility, entrepreneurship and innovation spirit.

 

How to get there? Every change starts with “one step” and this first step is often the most difficult one. Leaving its comfort zone requires self-confidence, courage, energy but also creativity and openness to new perspectives.
