Organizational Agility in the New World of Work

COURSE OVERVIEW

The Business Imperative.  The COVID-19 crisis is obviously having a dramatic impact on the world, and its trajectory is at this point unpredictable. As a result, the tremendous uncertainty about what lies ahead can cripple business leaders’ ability to take strategic action. Taking action now, during the crisis, will be critical. A previous Boston Consulting Group analysis showed that companies that began responding and communicating with investors early in the financial crisis of 2008 to 2009, for example, performed significantly better than companies that waited until the full-blown recession hit. So how can a company become an early actor in a time of extraordinary uncertainty and constant change?

The Solution.  Participation by a representative group of your company’s leaders in the “Organizational Agility in the New World of Work” virtual program.
