There are three advantages that I still experience after seven years of agile working in the marketing & communication field. Advantages that I would want all of my colleagues to experience so badly. We have a great job, but be honest: every now and then you just go crazy because of the overflowing agendas of people you work with. Or the sluggishness of decision-making in some chains. Or because of stakeholders who decide to play the role of the professional expert.
You want to know: is there no other way?
Fortunately, there is! Agile working really is a different way of working, with which you achieve completely different results. And the great thing is that you join in on a change that is one of the main subjects of discussion in almost all organizations. How nice would it be if you would know how to apply the agile way of working to marketing and communication issues in a meaningful way and include your (internal) client in that at the same time!
