English term or phrase: Merely remaining relevant
Merely remaining relevant is no longer an option for business owners.

Dans le fond, ça veut dire "rester dans le coup" ou "suivre la vague", mais je n'arrive pas à trouver des expressions élégantes pour rendre l'idée. Il faut que ça fasse un peu snob.

être dans l'air du temps


Explanation:
Peut-être parviendrez-vous à tourner cela de façon appropriée pour le contexte. « Être dans l'air du temps » fait assez léger et pourrait correspondre à votre besoin de snobisme. :)
