Our world was already changing at a dizzying pace.  Add into the dynamic landscape all the required responses to COVID-19, and organizational agility becomes more important than ever. Organizations that can establish agility or remain agile reap the rewards of being leaders in emerging markets. Establishing the proper systems separates the organizations that adapt well in light of fast-paced change from those that seem stuck in the past.  
 
In this session, effective organizational responses to large scale change - as well as examples of what not to do - will be discussed by way of a case study between Blockbuster and Netflix juxtaposing the different approaches taken in response to the emerging “new normal” of streaming and digitization. 


This session will enable you to:

  • Identify and communicate reasons to be agile, and the potential roadblocks to agility 
  • Discuss how certain attitudes and cultures of organizations can inhibit organizational agility
  • Learn steps to achieve organizational agility in a current and post COVID-19 workplace
