Adaptive Strategic Execution
Course Description
The volume and strategic importance of projects is growing in organizations. In 2017, corporate heads classified more than half of their projects as strategic initiatives. About a fifth of the world’s economic activity a year – $12 trillion – is now organized as projects. And, over the next decade, organizations are expected to experience a 68% increase in project work.
Organizations need more leaders who can step up and lead more complex projects and initiatives in this dynamic operating environment. And, as individual leaders, advancing today requires more than the essential skills to build plans and actively manage scope and performance – it requires an adaptive mindset and skillset. Leaders of projects at every level must develop an adaptive mindset to guide the organization through today’s increasingly dynamic and complex context.
In response to the project revolution, we launched a new certificate program in partnership with Strategy Execution. The Adaptive Strategic Execution Program (ASEP) equips project leaders with an adaptive mindset, toolset and skillset to execute strategy in a volatile world.
