Volatile, Uncertain, Chaotic, Ambiguous – in a VUCA environment, companies need a strategizing process that itself is agile. Agile Strategizing is such a process helping companies to change strategy as often, as radical, as interactive as necessary.
Agile and Agility as buzzwords have been around for a while. The idea of agile strategy though has only recently entered the world of business consulting and management.
