Purpose and benefits

Today’s career environment requires more creativity, flexibility, and originality than ever before. The notion of a ‘job for life’ has vanished. So, fortunately, has the rigid assumption that there is only one way to succeed in a company, that is, by promotion. Previously, if you were not moving up, you were almost certainly fast-tracked in another direction: out of the door.

But today both employers and employees are discovering that lateral career moves are a creative way to build exciting companies and rewarding futures. For their part, individuals recognise that the more varied their skill sets and experiences, the more value they can bring to their employers. This translates into increased marketability, as well as additional job security in changing times. Your willingness to move laterally may protect you from being made redundant as your company downsizes in one department while expanding operations in other more profitable divisions.
