Today’s economic climate is rapidly changing. Geo-political forces such as war and changing supply chains have caused inflation where wages cannot keep up with rising prices. The pandemic and new Covid variants posed a threat to the economy and have caused severe disruption to our way of life. Companies such as IBM and Xerox that used to be market leaders are now considered to be no longer at the cutting edge of technology. Netflix, which overtook Blockbuster Videos, now faces stiff competition from the likes of Disney Plus, HBO Max and Amazon Prime Video. What we’re witnessing in our world today signals an urgent need for us to be able to adapt to change.
What happens if we can’t adapt? We would miss out on opportunities to compete in the marketplace. We could become irrelevant as the world changes and we get left behind, and sooner or later face redundancy. If we continue to allow this to happen to us, it becomes harder to recover in the long run.
Adapting to change is not always easy. Our attachments to tried and test ways of doing things that have given rise to our preferences often keep us stuck. We might be in our comfort zones today, but fail to see the problems of tomorrow coming up on the horizon that need urgent attention and preparation for now. Adaptation can present a paradox in itself – too much of an immersion into a herd mentality subjects any change to the risk of criticism, which is why it takes courage to undo the fixations of what we know to be true to try something new.
In this session, find out how you can develop the mindsets required for adaptability. Learn how to let go of the familiar and flow with changing times to prevent stagnation.
