Session Title
The Shape of Business Agility
Abstract
These 6 words are the heart of business agility - but they are also an invitation. Does your organization have the freedom, flexibility, and resilience to achieve its purpose - no matter what the future brings?
And to complicate matters; it is a continuum, where the question is not whether you have it, but rather how much you have and is it enough?
There aren't many of them, but those organizations who can answer yes to these questions can instinctively seize emerging and unforeseen opportunities for their customers’ benefit. But copying their processes isn't going to help you. There is no single framework, method, or system that can create business agility — and, by definition, because an organization is a complex adaptive system, there can never be one. In many cases, even different business units within the same organization need different approaches.
Yet, while no two organizations follow the same journey, common patterns of behavior emerge. The shape of business agility.
In this briefing, we will explore these patterns and introduce the latest version of the Domains of Business Agility. A cultural operating model for your organization consisting of 5 primary domains spanning 18 emergent business capabilities.
