With a new year comes strategy planning, and the Corporate University Professional Development Network (PDN) is starting 2018 with a focus on how to apply Agile concepts to strategic thinking.
Disruption, turbulence and risk are here to stay. Every leader must be able to quickly adapt to changing circumstances or performance will suffer. This sobering reality requires leaders to make agile strategic decisions and remain focused on what matters most: Your customer, strategy, and people. Agile teams sense and respond more quickly to disruption and/or opportunities, and place small bets to keep options open.
