What strategic agility is and what it means in different contexts. Through the diagnostic questionnaire and application exercises, participants work on their own organisations as ‘live cases’ to discuss with their peers and faculty.
Why organisations become sclerotic and the role of success in this process.
How to foster strategic agility in management processes and broad organisational design.
How senior executives and parent companies affect strategic agility.

A blend of self-directed, peer-to-peer, facilitated and live faculty sessions build together to give you a dynamic insight into strategic agility in all its guises and contexts.

Blend of live interactive sessions with world-class faculty and learning managers and self-directed learning in a flexible format that fits around your lifestyle.
Global online cohort: connect and share with your peers through networking rooms and breakout rooms for personal coaching and workshops.
Create a personal action plan: apply the concepts and frameworks to your own context and develop your personal action plan with the support of your Learning Manager.
Live sessions are recorded: view them again at any time during the programme.

Do I need to attend the whole Executive Education programme?

Yes. To optimise the learning experience for you and your cohort you will be expected to attend all programme sessions including group work and coaching sessions. You'll also be expected to take part in peer-to-peer learning.

Are the sessions live? And are they mandatory to attend?

No, you can complete the sessions whenever you choose to, as long as you meet the programme deadlines. For our self-paced flexible online programmes webinars are pre-recorded and uploaded to the learning platform and will be available to you throughout the duration of the programme.

Are all of your programmes delivered by LBS staff and faculty?
