In a world of accelerating change, many organisations are building new approaches to decision-making and management, as they aim to evolve their agility to lead in the dynamic market, gain competitive advantage, interact with clients, and integrate technological innovation for business transformation and development.

Bringing vast international management experience and latest research insight, Nadim Habib, one of the internationally famous professors at Nova School of Business and Economics (Portugal), talks to HR strategists and L&D decision-makers about the impact of accelerating change, and the need to instil a routine of learning in organisations. He advises on how to adjust corporate learning functions and activities for more agile organisational structures.

“The changes have in most cases been structural, with organisational charts being adjusted to a perceived need to delayer and become cross-functional, but the behavioural and cultural changes needed to leverage the new structures are more difficult to achieve,” highlights Nadim Habib based on his research findings and practical experience on a global scale.

The insightful talk “Learning in an Agile World” enables HR and L&D leaders and practitioners to:

• Learn how change should be perceived so as to build more agile organisations. Nadim Habib discusses also to what extent building agility is an individual and an organisational responsibility.
• Understand what cultural changes are needed to leverage the new organisational structures and how to capitalise on the increased ability of a more educated workforce to access new knowledge through technology and to assimilate innovation.
• Benchmark and gain actionable advice grounded in international research and management practice with organisations – of diverse type, size, and cultural settings – seeking to become more agile.

For the first time, the “Learning in an Agile World” talk is available for free download by the MERIT community of HR, L&D, C-level, academic, and executive education leaders and experts.
