Through a short concentrated period of study you will rapidly delve into a subject area and develop projects to apply directly to your organisation.
Building an agile and resilient organisation enables you to overcome obstacles, by designing systems and processes that allow you to move quickly.
In this Postgraduate Award, you will explore why agility in organisations is essential for success in an increasingly complex, volatile and uncertain world. You will take a deep dive into the concept of agility, and gain tools and frameworks, which will enable you to develop agile capabilities within your organisation. Through case studies, you will be able to see how these frameworks apply in real-life settings and build an understanding of strategies, structures and culture that reflect an agile and resilient organisation.
You will also explore the pivotal role of leadership as the driving force for agility, taking the time to reflect upon your leadership practice in this context.
This Postgraduate Award will run across four days of face-to-face teaching at our London base in The Shard, with a six week window to complete your assignments.
Your learning will be consolidated into two assignments, a reflective paper and a case study applying the concepts and theories from the module to critically assess the agile capabilities of an organisation and to make recommendations for strengthening competencies.
“The pace of change and level of disruption faced by most companies today, means the idea of sustainable competitive advantage is all but redundant. Instead organisations need to build the dynamic capabilities that enable them to react quickly to rapidly changing circumstances. In short, companies need to become more agile.”
