Circumstance, companies and people change increasingly rapidly in today’s world. The role that was perfect for you yesterday simply may not be tomorrow. The concept of a ‘job-for-life’ seems increasingly redundant – increasingly quaint or nostalgic.

As a consequence, B2B marketing leaders inevitably have one eye on the future. They are thinking about what could come next, where they might progress to, and which challenges are going to really excite them.
