«The ultimate art of strategists is not to elaborate a beautiful strategy, but to know when to change it,» a phrase that could also be formulated as: the effectiveness of a strategy is merely a reflection of its suitability to the context. Today, a strategy has a limited «validity period,» in the sense that the world (the context) is constantly evolving.

We must therefore constantly ask ourselves: is my strategy still valid? Because the stake is the very resilience of the company. The evolution of the context must be understood as dominoes that would start to fall silently. Not intervening is accepting not to interfere with the course of things. And not doing so is potentially finding oneself at a tipping point, where the company would no longer be able to fulfill its mission or achieve its ambitions.

Agility goes far beyond adopting flexible working methods like Scrum, Kanban, or Lean; it delves into deeper elements:

• The ability to identify changes in the general context and to understand their implications for the specific situation of the company (situational intelligence).
• The ability to make decisions quickly and execute them with conviction.

Strategic agility includes the notions of situational intelligence and those related to a corporate culture oriented towards anticipation, courage, and action. It will thus mobilize other key factors of Actitudes^®, such as common vision, supportive leadership, psychological safety and trust, innovation, positive attitude towards change, inspiring objectives, stakeholders, and risk management, etc.

What you will explore during this Deep Dive

During this intensive workshop, we will delve into the key aspects of strategic agility through practical cases, interactive exercises, and stimulating discussions. We will use our collective intelligence tools to facilitate co-creation and engagement:

• The VUCA and BANI World: Decipher its characteristics and implications, the internal and external elements that make up a context, and the impact for an organization. Through a case study, we will conduct an in-depth and systemic analysis of the environment.
• The Fundamentals of Strategy: Learn to clearly differentiate vision, mission, slogan, values, indicators, general strategic approach, strategic axes, and tactical execution plan.
• Analytical Frameworks: Discover how to use methods like SWOT, BCG and Mc Kinsey matrix, Blue & Red Ocean, Porter's Forces, 7S etc. to understand the company's positioning.
• Situational Analysis: Diagnose, through scenario analyses and the 4 Tension Points model, how close your organization is to a tipping point.
• Informed Accelerations: Discover how to define the best turning points or saving reinventions for your company.
  Agile Leadership and Governance: Explore, through the principles of «implementagility» and the Actitudes factors, how sustainable leaders establish a culture conducive to strategic agility, by fostering experimentation and transparency, cultivating psychological safety and trust.

We will therefore integrate the 18 key Actitudes factors^® to enable participants to diagnose, reflect on, and plan strategic actions for sustainable team strengthening. These cards will serve as a catalyst for deep discussions aligned with the specific needs of your organization in a VICA world.
