  By Elmaskun Introduction: A Rapidly Changing World Requires Continuous Growth We are living in an era of rapid transformation. The development of digital technology, artificial intelligence, the internet, and information systems has changed almost every aspect of human life. The world of work, which once seemed stable and secure, can now change within a matter of years, or even months. Companies that were once powerful can experience financial difficulties.
