Future of Work and Agility
Zoom Interactive Event: Stop Planning, Start Preparing
In a time of unprecedented change and extreme uncertainty, we need to take action, but traditional responses will be less effective; instead, Dr. Stephen Bungay of Ashridge Strategic Management Centre and Dr. Rebecca Homkes of London Business School offer a three-part approach:
- Survive – weather the immediate economic storm and preserve business continuity
- Reset – revisit and reset your strategy to take account of the new reality
- Thrive – set yourself up for growth to take advantage of emerging opportunities
In this webinar Stephen and Rebecca will consider what leaders can do to prepare their organisations to survive the current climate, reset the plan, and thrive through a potential downturn.
