Changing times requires maleability and adaptability to first survive and then succeed over competitors.
For organizations to remain strong, they must transform to become like liquid water that adapts to the markets. Like water penetrates the smallest corner, liquid organizations create new and better business landscapes and opportunities.
Some thoughts:
According to the thoughts of the sociologist and philosopher, Zygmunt Bauman, we live in liquid modernity where it is necessary to develop a flexible and versatile identity to tackle different changes that the individual must face throughout life. The source of this reflection leads to extrapolation to the management world, specifically to career management by HR in organizations. And in all likelihood, we are looking at one of the paradigms that must be rethought out promptly for people management. Career management, typically a vertical path, has prevailed in recent years and must be revised and redesigned accordingly. Andrés Ortega, paper author
When we feel we are losing each game played, there are two options. The one we generally try first is to play better: harder, faster, with more commitment. That is what our society recommends with respect to work. The protesting ethos Weber puts forward was a cornerstone in the idea of capitalism. Bauman goes further in this analysis. He examines whether, instead of making more effort to comply with the rules, we should be asking ourselves what if the rules themselves of the game have changed. Mariano Feuer, paper author
