It means being aware that \u201ceverything is changing and I\u2019m part of that change\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The recent activities observed among the Swiss population these last few months invite us to investigate what is happening even more intensely. The time is one of mobilization. \u201cEverything changes. I am part of these changes. I want to be able to fully assume my position as an actor of change and, as a result, I expect that all will be mobilized with me to change things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, it\u2019s not just about \u201ctaking change by the hand before it takes me by the throat\u201d (Churchill), but it\u2019s about bringing it along with me and mobilizing my environment. This new momentum is an energy we can plug into to.<\/p>\n<p>We believe that companies that have understood they are the creators of the change that they announce will be perfectly positioned to negotiate the next steps. They will have prepared\u2014while creating\u2014the soil necessary for a favorable reception of future transformations.<\/p>\n<p>R\u00e9daction: <a href=\"\/team\/john-borruat\/\">John Borruat<\/a> \u272a Senior Leadership Development Consultant and Partner @Direction Plus<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does the concept of \u201cemployability\u201d mean?
