Upcoming Research Projects

Strategic Planning and Organizational Agility
Organizational agility is defined as the ability to identify opportunities and risk quickly and execute on the opportunities and risks that align with the organization’s overall strategy. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a wake-up call that organizations need to ensure their organization for the next black swan event and bolster the flexibility of their decision-making practices and responsiveness to the implementation of new initiatives.  APQC is conducting a research project to identify the key characteristics that drive organizational agility.
