Once we have explored the leadership takeaways from those case studies, we will then open the floor for questions.
This Member-only discussion will provide a valuable opportunity to ask questions and broaden our understanding of this critical area within the Framework for Business Agility. This peer-to-peer learning discussion will be facilitated by Pam Ashby.
