Supplemental Assessment 2 Specification:
Ignatius (2016:10) states that “we live in a fast-changing world. But there are still a few certainties…For example: (1) Failure happens, (2) strategy constantly needs to adapt, and (3) at some point you’re going to have to figure out “agile””.
Critically examine the above perspective, using examples from the tourism/hospitality/ event sectors to illustrate your answer.
Ignatius, A. (2016) Toward a More Agile Future, Harvard Business Review, May, p.10.
