What happens when adaptation becomes part of the job?
Organizations today operate in an environment defined by constant change. New technologies emerge, priorities shift, business models evolve, and transformation initiatives follow one another with increasing frequency. The ability to adapt has become a competitive necessity.
Yet a different question is beginning to emerge.

More importantly, it examines what organizations can do to sustain the human capacity that adaptation itself depends upon.
