AGILITY ANALYTICS
We are working on Agility Analytics - another popular scheme that will be launched later in 2021.
Agility Analytics:
- Produces original research studies and reports on agility and supporting topics
- Synthesizes cutting-edge research and thought regarding agility from around the globe
- Develops new user-friendly ways for people and organizations to measure agility while continually refining our current instruments
With the Agility Analytics course, we help people and organizations become more focused, fast and flexible by measuring their current state, using analytics to determine priorities, designing and guiding change efforts, and measuring again to assess progress.
