Agile (management) strategy is a revolutionary new approach to business strategy designed for information age open markets. Rather than traditional industrial age “strategy as annual long-term planning”, agile strategy is a continuous design process, encompassing markets, businesses, portfolios, platforms, ecosystems and organizations, that drives short-term performance and long-term value. Agile strategy builds on and integrates the best strategy thinking available to provide executives with a simple and practical guide to designing companies in an open world.

Agile strategy’s impact is immediate and significant. Executives who learn and implement agile strategy find that it brings great clarity to a seemingly complex and chaotic environment, unleashes enormous energy, passion and innovative thinking within their organizations, and enables them to begin successfully navigating the exciting business world of 2010 and beyond.

This introductory course provides executives with a complete overview of the concepts and tools of agile strategy. It comprises eight sessions, which can be delivered weekly for eight weeks, or as a two-day program. The first session introduces agile strategy, and each of the following sessions explores one of its seven principles. The course can be customized to individual company requirements.

The industrial revolution transformed the closed feudal world into the protected industrial world, and the information revolution has transformed that protected world into today's open world. Each of these transformations on the journey from closed to open had enormous impact on society, markets, companies and individuals. In this introductory session, we will discuss:

• what it means to go from closed to open markets
• how and why the world has done so over the past few hundred years
• what the implications are for companies and strategy.

This course will be of high value to executives, entrepreneurs, board members and strategy consultants with companies at all stages, from start-ups to global corporations. This course will be most meaningful to experienced senior executives, but the simplicity of the basic concepts should allow it to serve as a useful guide to anyone involved in company and business model design.
