EMILY: Welcome to our podcast, I'm your host Emily, and I'm excited to have you join us today to talk about the Global Certificate in Strategic Agility in a VUCA World. Joining me is Kenneth, an expert in strategic agility and one of the faculty members for this course. Kenneth, welcome to the show! KENNETH: Thanks, Emily. It's great to be here. EMILY: Before we dive in, can you tell us a bit about the course and what strategic agility means in today's fast-paced business landscape? KENNETH: Absolutely. In a VUCA world – which stands for Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous – strategic agility is the ability to navigate uncertainty, drive innovation, and lead with confidence. This course equips participants with the skills to do just that, by learning how to think critically, make informed decisions, and adapt to changing circumstances. EMILY: That sounds incredibly valuable. How do you think this course can benefit someone's career, especially in industries like finance, technology, and healthcare? KENNETH: Well, the skills you learn in this course are highly transferable across industries. By developing strategic agility, you'll gain a competitive edge in the job market, and enhance your career prospects in leadership, management, and strategy roles. We've had participants from all over the world who have gone on to secure promotions, switch industries, or even start their own businesses. EMILY: That's amazing. One of the unique features of this course is the personalized strategic agility plan that participants develop. Can you walk us through what that entails? KENNETH: Sure. Throughout the course, participants will work on developing a tailored plan that addresses their specific needs and goals. They'll receive feedback from industry experts and peer discussions, which helps them refine their plan and gain new insights. By the end of the course, they'll have a concrete plan that they can implement in their organization. EMILY: I love that. It sounds like a very practical and applicable course. What kind of support can participants expect from the faculty and the global community of like-minded professionals? KENNETH: Our faculty is made up of experienced practitioners who are passionate about strategic agility. We're always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer support. And through our online community, participants can connect with each other, share experiences, and learn from one another. It's a fantastic way to stay connected and continue learning long after the course is over. EMILY: That's fantastic. Kenneth, thank you so much for sharing your insights with us today.
