Why Do This Work as a Leadership Team?

Becoming an adaptive organization requires buy-in from and alignment across senior leaders. Adaptive plans work best when the strategic vision is held by the full leadership team—not just the CEO—and each leader makes decisions that support this common goal. This program teaches your leadership team key strategic management skills that can help you adapt and respond to change.
