Program Overview
Today’s business world is constantly moving at a rapid pace. The most important skill a professional can have is adaptability, as they maneuver through the changes they encounter every day. Those looking for success not only need to be open to change but also need to embrace it. Without a strong basis in adaptability, a businessperson may find themselves far behind the curve before they can realize it.
