Strategic Agility—Virtual

Through faculty presentations, selected readings, case discussions, small group work, self-assessments, guest speakers, multimedia sessions, and more, you will absorb practical lessons key to building strategic agility. As you explore best practices and the experiences of other successful leaders, you'll learn how to think through challenging situations, formulate strategies for rapid response, and maintain strategic agility over time.

The program takes place over two weeks, with live, synchronous classes Monday through Friday (11:00 AM to 3:00 PM ET, including breaks), as well as self-paced sessions. 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 5-10 hours per week for program work 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.

Participants will receive two e-books by HBS faculty. You will use insights from the books to inform your own development as a strategically agile leader.
