Nowadays, the course of a person’s career is no longer clear-cut and predefined. The professional journeys we travel are more varied; we have greater power to shape our own future and set out into new directions.

Flexibility is the name of the game. Some people might spend over 20 years in the same role, working for the same employer – but they are very much the exception. And, even if you do spend many years in the same job, your resources, processes, structures and even location are likely to change over time.
