Driving Organizational Agility—Virtual

Through faculty presentations, case studies, interactive exercises, small-group discussions, and guest speakers including some case protagonists, you will explore the importance of organizational agility and how to implement structures and processes that create a more agile organization over the short and long term. As you become conversant with the frameworks, tools, and terminology of agile methods, you will be better able to strike the right balance between managing day-to-day business and remaining responsive to change and opportunity.

The program takes place over two weeks, with live, synchronous classes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (9:00 AM to 1:30 PM ET, including a 15-minute break and a 30-minute break), and small group discussions for learning and networking in the early mornings and late afternoons. Class sessions will take place via the Zoom platform. You will also have ample opportunity for interaction with faculty and peers inside and outside the class sessions.

Collaborative learning is an integral part of the experience. To maximize the benefit for everyone, you are expected to attend every session, complete all assignments, and contribute effectively in the class and in small groups. We advise setting aside a total of 5-7 hours per week for case preparation in addition to the synchronous class sessions.

Participants should expect to spend at least 9-12 hours on self-paced case preparation prior to attending the program. Case materials will be made available approximately two weeks prior to program start.
