Businesses that can adapt and innovate based on market needs are the ones that survive and thrive. However, the concept of agility in leadership is often misunderstood. So, what does real agility look like and how can it be embedded into the core of your organisation?

In this session, we will look at how agility, if used properly, can be used as a powerful magnet for customers, talent, and investment, as well as a driver of innovation.

Topics will include:

• Agility vs. productivity and getting the balance right
• Cultural change: overcoming rigid mindsets, lack of diversity, and poor processes
• How technology can improve agility
• Measuring your agility and tracking progress
