Leading the Agile Organization
By some estimates, up to 80% of all strategies — however brilliant — never generate their intended results. Rather than describing these disappointments as ‘failures of execution,’ leaders can mold both themselves and their organizations to successfully address the gap between strategy and results.
To achieve this agility, organizations require leaders who are perceptive, comfortable with their various roles, and clear about their path to value.
In this program, you will learn more about these key skills and acquire the mindsets vital to leading an agile and adaptive organization. You will improve your ability to confidently make hard-to-reverse choices, maneuver through uncertainty, and inspire others to join you in taking risks to grow, innovate and improve the value delivered to your customers and stakeholders.

The three-part program is structured around three key capabilities demonstrated by leaders of agile organizations.
- Become aware of changes in situations, circumstances, and relationships and be unbiased and clear-sighted about personal and organizational feedback.
- Find, recognize, and use incoming information to update assumptions and adjust behaviors.
- Communicate effectively with multiple stakeholders in text, symbols, actions, and other means and paint a clear picture of what is happening and what needs to be done — in a language the target audience can understand.
- Set targets with clear consequences for gaps between desired and actual performance.
- Develop strength in areas other than your dominant processes and have the ability to support multiple different processes when appropriate.
