Vision & strategy
Vision & strategy for organizationsThe question of the organization’s purpose is answered at the strategy level. In order for agility to live, it must be clear what the company exists for and where the journey is going. This is the only way an organization can function in an agile sense. But it is not just the corporate strategy that is crucial; beacons are also needed for the products and organizational aspects. We bring ideas and tools into the company so that the heartbeat of agility can be felt every day.
