In today’s fast-changing and unpredictable business environment, strategy execution must be agile to keep organizations competitive and innovative. Companies need the capability to sense emerging trends and shifts early, then rapidly adapt their strategies and operations in response. This requires weaving responsiveness into every aspect of strategy definition, portfolio management, and delivery. By breaking silos and embracing the principles of agility, organizations can continuously respond to market dynamics and accelerate time-to-value. This will prove vital to thrive amid constant change and uncertainty.
