The Future of Enterprise Professional Development – Larisa B. Miller

In 1950, the average worker changed jobs 1.3 times in their career lifetime. In 2023, statistics say that the average working person will have 12 jobs in their lifetime, often making a complete career change by 39 years old because they feel that their careers are stagnating.
The key to keeping employees happy, engaged, and committed to the company’s growth and development is through continual professional development. In order for companies to stand as vanguards of their industries or sectors, it is essential that they prioritize the continual reskilling and upskilling of their employees.

THE FUTURE OF ENTERPRISE: The CEO – 1 – Larisa B. Miller

It is often said that there is nothing as vulnerable as entrenched success, and this keen observation is proven time and time again, as we navigate enterprise through the often-uncharted seas of progress. The CEO is the captain of the ship, responsible for the steering the vessel to a designated destination, while avoiding as many storms as possible. But navigating the future of enterprise as a CEO requires the flexibility and willingness to constantly reshape mindset along with the business model. As a CEO, if you allow yourself to get comfortable with your current successes, start packing up your office, because if you aren’t continually innovating your products, processes, services, as well as your definition of ‘value’, I guarantee that one of your competitors is, and you’ll be chasing them rather than leading them. Most of your competitors are comfortable where they are, all coagulating together in the center of mediocrity.
What happens when you are stuck in the middle of the road with the rest of your competitors, doing business the same way everyone else in your industry is doing it? Well…the answer is simple. The middle of the road is where you get killed.
