The concept of organizational or enterprise agility is an important one for companies to succeed today. But there is a problem that many organizations are failing to address. And it’s a problem of their own making.
Business acumen isn’t just an area where you need to earn PDUs, it’s a critical skill that can be the difference between success and failure on your projects. What steps can PMs take to optimize their abilities in this area?
