volop in beweging
Dutch to English
Marketing
Business/Commerce (general)
Related to the minor programme "Management and Consultancy", available at Hogeschool Rotterdam. Particularly in the following context: "Het bedrijfsleven is *volop in beweging*. De arbeidsmarkt vraagt om professionals die bedrijfsproblemen aan kunnen." My guess is "fully on the move", but most likely there are different ways to express it in this context. Anyone? Thanks!

(very) Dynamic
I would think that 'dynamic' is the key word; dynamic means that there is energetic/powerful movement. It often is used in this context such as "a dynamic market". If you wish, you can decide for yourself if you want to add "very".
Example sentence:
Businesses are currently (very) dynamic
Het bedrijfsleven is *volop in beweging
