Strategic Agility: The Art of Piloting Initiatives
Strategy execution is all about the speed of learning and making the right resource allocation decisions across a portfolio of business efficiency and growth initiatives.

"In an increasingly volatile and uncertain business environment, fast learning and
swift resource allocation are critical for successful strategy execution. Piloting initiatives

essential for strategic agility."
