Building an 'Agile' Response to Change

Agility is the ability of an organisation in whole, or in part as required, to transform itself competently in order to manage or exploit a new situation. Systemic agility is achieved by preparing people culturally for change and structuring flexibility for change into the processes, systems and infrastructure that they use. Agility can be a defined business strategy, but more and more it is becoming a required operational competency for high-performing sustainable organisations, regardless of the direction of their core business strategy.
