About this ebook

The term "agile strategic management" may be seen as somewhat of a buzzword, as "agile" has become prevalent in business discussions and can sometimes be overused. Like many buzzwords, "agile" can be used superficially without a true understanding of its core principles, leading to misinterpretations or ineffective implementation.

 

Nonetheless, it truly embodies a strategic approach that emphasizes flexibility and adaptability to evolving environments, distinguishing it as more than just a fleeting trend when implemented effectively. The author underscores the significance of Agile strategic management by highlighting the necessity of being responsive to market changes, swiftly incorporating feedback, and adjusting strategies as required, which are essential in today’s dynamic business landscape.

 

This book aims to educate its audience on fostering a flexible organizational culture, enhancing cross-functional collaboration, and promoting ongoing learning. It targets executives, managers, and researchers who are interested in incorporating agility into their strategic management practices by providing them with practical tools and processes for making decisions in real time and aligning strategic goals. Each chapter is intended to present insights that may be put into action, as well as real-world case studies and tasks that can be done by the reader.

As readers begin their journey into agile strategic management, this book recognizes the challenges they may encounter, such as resistance to change, and aims to help them navigate these obstacles. The primary goal is to foster innovative value creation within a fast-paced business environment by encouraging a reassessment of traditional strategic methods and embracing the opportunities that arise from adopting an agile mindset.
