The Shape of Agility
summary
Research from the Business Agility Institute since 2017 studies over a thousand companies and produces a behavioral model that maps observed behaviors on a -1 to 1 scale to show detractors, neutrals and promoters of agility. The core claim is that agility is a continuum constrained by the system (technology first, now often HR/Finance/governance), that change requires measurable behavioral shifts, and that mature firms show systemic and governance changes rather than just team practices; summarized as six words: no matter what the future brings.
