Description:

Business environments are fraught with uncertainty and change. Therefore, building capabilities to react, adapt and shape the environment, i.e., business agility, becomes critical for organizations. Fostering business agility implies transforming existing strategies, processes, cultures, and structures. For example, agile ways of working have garnered substantial attention among strategic management researchers and practitioners, since they require reconfiguring how individuals within teams work and how the organization is structured. This webinar will discuss the drivers, pitfalls, and critical success factors of business agility and agile transformation processes. Our speakers, Sarah Elk and Julian Birkinshaw, will share their insights on this topic, followed by a discussion with the audience.
