Abstract
It is widely believed that “careers and career opportunities are in pandemonium resulting from the progressive destabilization of relationships between people and organizations.”1 Downsizing, delayering, globalization, and new strategies have brought confusion and dislocation for individuals, and much coverage in the business press about the so-called “end of the career.” It is hard for someone being swept downstream in a fast-moving river to make sense of where they are. let alone where they're going.2 Yet even in these most turbulent of times, distinctive patterns can be discerned. For any given firm they may be different patterns from ten years ago, but they are still recognizably patterns. These patterns, or streams, as they are more appropriately called,3 can have a substantial impact on the way the firm does business and on the success with which its chosen strategy is implemented. There are career streams that are consistent with a firm's strategy and others that can throw it off course.
