Being flexible to take advantage of opportunity is not one of the stronger attitudes of people. In the end we are creatures of habit which is what organizations rely on, to have us do our work.
But as the markets have been changing and work place thinking reassesses its investments, options for those willing to change are now considerable, especially for people with real skill now in demand.
As one of my colleagues said to me recently, “Having a job sure beats working.” What he meant was, those who avoid dole queues and the anxiety of the job search, are those who can adapt.
In organizations it is no different. Getting into different work may be as simple as using the skills we have another way. Using things like software as a service and cloud services for outsourcing to get results quickly are now reality. They are being used for such things as sales and supply chain management widely and now are starting to surface in previously hallowed areas like confidential business analytics. But even this is outside the square for so many people like Mr. Duck
But think about it. Even the outsource worker has caught on to how to work on a remote VPN access; And is also doing well in this new world, as many companies still struggle with an outdated mentality that will leave them behind, as others set up new tents .
Talented people and organization that are also smart enough to see the opportunity are going there and winning.
This reminds me of the good old story of Mr.Duck . It goes something like this.
