With today's realities, economic tides and the ever-changing business landscape, a wide range of forces is affecting the labor market, economic structures, competitions and organization practices. All these present a challenge to building effective individual career plans and it is inevitable that career development will go through changes. Matching strengths and improvement needs with career aspirations within and beyond current situations and/or roles will become important for individuals to successfully plan and execute their development activities.
