July 7th, 2011
Here’s an example of what we are doing at the Purdue Center for Regional Development on Florida’s Space Coast, in the wake of the Shuttle shutdown.
Agility is key to forming new networks and recovering from large layoffs. We have developed agile strategy disciplines appropriate for complex collaborations in loosely joined networks. Read more about our work on the Space Coast.
Strategic Doing on the Space Coast
