- Emerging processes within the defense as well as other sectors with hierarchical organizational structures, such as emergency aid and critical infrastructure
- Best practices and case studies for improving business agility across the focus industries.
- High-level insights about organizational agility from a Subject Matter Expert.
Outcome:
