- The world of management theory is littered with approaches
to creating organizational strategy.
You may have chosen one of the traditional approaches
or picked parts from several methodologies.
And you've probably devised some of your own techniques
as well.
You don't need yet another shiny new theory.
But what you do need is an upgrade
to your strategy processes.
Hi, I'm Gary Bolles.
I help organizations and individuals
to navigate disruptive change.
I've worked as a strategy consultant, a writer,
and as a career counselor.
And in this course,
I'm going to tell you how to make your strategy process
more agile in an era of exponential change.
Rather than a rigid set of steps,
you'll find that an agile strategy is a set of practices
to infuse into the way you continually adapt
to a rapidly changing world.
It's not just about embracing change,
it's about driving change on a continual basis.
It's about encouraging a culture of taking risks,
so you can make smarter bets.
It's about encouraging and rewarding innovation
to give you a bigger portfolio of opportunity.
It's about being digital,
leveraging technology in the best possible ways.
And perhaps most important,
it's about being human.
It all comes down to having the confidence
that you can continually set and achieve
your organizational goals
even when the entire landscape is transforming around you.
You'll find that it's not just about
having an agile strategy.
It's about having a strategy for being agile.
