Course: Agile Marketing in Collaborative Environments

Why are some organizations better able to adapt to changing consumer and external market conditions than others? The ability to be Agile in approaches from marketing to customer experience and beyond allows brands to anticipate and adapt to rapidly shifting internal and external needs. Agile organizations set themselves up to learn quickly and evolve as needed, in a climate of continuous change and improvement and allow teams that frequently work together, such as marketing, technology, and others, to collaborate and achieve greater success. While the goals of customer growth and increased revenue remain constant, the methods and approaches of reaching those goals adapt as conditions demand. The approach outlined in this course was created to help marketers enable their organizations to become more Agile and encourage cross-team collaboration using Agile principles and approaches.
