Enabling Business Agility
summary
Business agility is the ability to respond quickly to change to maximize delivered value backed by six specific enablers: leadership, culture, structure, people and engagement, governance and funding, ways of working. Concrete claims include GNK's reinvention from coal to aerospace (58,000 people and ~€10 billion revenue in 2017), S&P 500 tenure falling from 61 to 15 years, and the shift from big-bang funding to run many small experiments that scale when validated. A free business agility canvas and an 18-question assessment are offered to map where to act.
