Benefits of Business Agility 

Business agility often refers to a company's ability to adapt quickly to changes in its business environment. Becoming an agile organization allows a company to respond and adapt to competition in the market and customer needs, increase productivity, and engage and empower employees.

When these parts of the business struggle with low-value delivery, dwindling productivity, or burnout, it can impact the entire organization.

While Agile has become the best-in-class way of working for software teams and, more recently, Marketers, these functions rely on partnership and collaboration with adjacent functions and external stakeholders like sales, finance, HR, legal, compliance, and more.

This self-paced course was created for teams that want to reap the benefits of agility and wonder...

  • Is Agile compatible with financial reporting and budgeting?
  • How can a legal team get everyone in compliance with the new GDPR faster?
  • Could you close more sales more quickly using Agile ways of working?
  • Can you make your recruitment process more efficient?
