Are You Looking To Become More Agile And Innovative?

Given the complex, often unpredictable nature of today’s global business environment, organizations and their leaders are looking for ways to become more agile and innovative. At the same time, many organizations can ill-afford to forgo rigor and discipline.

In many organizations, employees now pursue an array of different kinds of projects simultaneously. Some are well defined; others need to adapt to rapidly changing scope, emerging technologies and evolving markets.

Within a single company or nonprofit, requirements, expectations and constraints may vary dramatically between product lines, functions or business units, resulting in the need for more or less agility versus discipline. The implications for how the work should be set up and executed can vary widely as a result.

Join the faculty of the Stanford Advanced Project Management program for this conversational and interactive webinar which will feature an open dialogue with Professor Ray Levitt, John Warren and Tim Wasserman. You will come away with valuable insights you can apply as they explore the challenge of how an organization can manage a mix of more versus less agile projects from traditional planning approaches to agile, and everything in-between.
