This is a 20 minute Lesson. What changes did you implement in your business model when the coronavirus pandemic hit?
While responsive behaviour is a key component of an agile business, as we find out in this Lesson, it's not the full story. Tristan Harris of Portinate Consulting, who specialises in recovering and accelerating business projects, and Ralph Fernando, author of Agile Strategy (2019), joined us to discuss how to embed agility right at the heart of your business, with practical steps that will enable you as a creative fashion business to face up to times of change.
In this video you'll learn:
- What survival means for a business in an uncertain, ever-changing world
- What three principles define an agile business and how you can implement practical changes to develop agility in your model
- How to successfully plan for change - beyond a great business plan
- Strategies for implementing changes in order to embed long-term, impactful agility
