Business Agility
Is your existing business model, hierarchical org chart, communications style, and technology infrastructure keeping up with how quickly you need to adapt? If not, then you need business agility: the ability of your entire organization to respond to change with speed and relative ease.

Why Business Agility Matters
Agile product delivery alone isn’t enough. You need business agility.
It’s when the entire organization—business and technology—uses Lean and agile practices to continually deliver innovative business solutions faster than the competition. With business agility, you can capitalize on emerging opportunities and respond to surprises and uncertainty. You can make faster decisions, allocate funds with greater flexibility, and align the right people to do the right work.

How to Achieve Business Agility
Business agility begins with a mental shift. Getting your entire organization to adopt this mindset is a major undertaking, but it’s worth it. As a change agent, you can help executive leaders recognize this and equip them to:
- Align strategy with execution to determine what to fund and why. This helps you develop and maintain a portfolio of products and services that meet the evolving needs of customers and the organization itself.
- Focus on the customer, using design thinking to build the right products for the right people at the right time.
- Optimize value streams using cross-functional collaboration between technical and business teams to get those products to market faster.
