Today's companies live in a constantly changing organizational environment. We have to adapt to a VUCA, uncertain, and constraining environment.
To make this possible, resilience is emphasized far more than past knowledge. Experience loses its value and is replaced by a capacity for permanent adaptation. Be ready for anything, always, all the time.
Change is no longer a rare event but a daily occurrence that constantly forces individuals to reinvent themselves.[1]
This technique of brutal, permanent change reached its climax in the "suicide crisis" at France Telecom in 2009, with no fewer than 35 suicides[2]
Change that turns us into "lifelong apprentices"[3]
The Covid pandemic has become yet another vector for change and forced adaptation. Instability and imbalance have become the daily lot of many workers, for whom logistics are not always adapted and the environment not always welcoming.
