Our Live Online Programs

Now, more than ever, executives need the knowledge and insights to help them adapt to change and solve complex problems. And as the business world has evolved, we have applied new best practices to continuously improve the experience. With our live online programs, we are taking many of our in-person programs and are translating them to a fully live and virtual format, delivering the same interactive sessions with faculty and real-time application of knowledge you would experience in person.

Leading the Agile Organization

By some estimates, up to 80% of all strategies — however brilliant — never generate their intended results. Rather than describing these disappointments as ‘failures of execution,’ leaders can mold both themselves and their organizations to successfully address the gap between strategy and results.

To achieve this agility, organizations require leaders who are perceptive, comfortable with their various roles, and clear about their path to value.

In this program, you will learn more about these key skills and acquire the mindsets vital to leading an agile and adaptive organization. You will improve your ability to confidently make hard-to-reverse choices, maneuver through uncertainty, and inspire others to join you in taking risks to grow, innovate and improve the value delivered to your customers and stakeholders.

Marketers today face a constant proliferation of marketing channels, the growing power of the connected customer, and an explosion of new digital tools.
