Agile Strategy Meetup: Meet Mike Burrows on Strategy

On February 28th 2025 Mike joins an impressive roster of speakers at the Agile Strategy meetup to answer two questions:

1. What is your view on strategy and its role and importance in an organisation. Any new trends or developments?
2. What advice do you have for people on how to best engage in the topic of strategy in their organisation?

Join this session – Meet Mike Burrows on Strategy for insight into his forthcoming book Wholehearted: Engaging with Complexity in the Deliberately Adaptive Organisation.
