EMBRACING
CHANGE - Adjusting to unfamiliar situations, demands, changing roles, seeing change as an opportunity and being receptive
to new ideas
Whether in Design, Tourism, Marketing, Sports, Management, Psychology, Hospitality
or others, we need a new mindset and we must integrate change as an important and integral part of our lives, both individually
and organizationally.
How we handle change is the essence of our existence and the key to happiness
and to successful businesses, particularly in our current times of deep uncertainty.
“Life is flux,”
said the philosopher Heraclitus. The Greek philosopher pointed out in 500 BC that everything is constantly shifting and becoming
something other than what it was once before. Heraclitus concluded that since the very nature of life is change, to resist
this natural flow was to resist the very essence of our existence. “There is nothing permanent except change,” he mentioned.
Viewing
changing situations as opportunities for improving and developing work, and remaining positive about moving forward despite
being realistic about the difficulty of change, are steps into a bright Future.
Encouraging experimentation,
new ways of working and seeking a diversity of perceptions are powerful forms of Resilience innovation.
This
year, our 15th International Week will be covering these topics and we would be very pleased to count with your participation.
