This document summarizes a webinar on achieving flawless execution through organizational agility. The webinar host, Joel "Thor" Neeb, is a former US Air Force mission commander who now works with companies to improve execution. The webinar discusses how agile companies grow faster and are more profitable, and outlines steps organizations can take to increase agility, such as focusing on culture, data, and empowering teams rather than a top-down approach. It also describes the "flawless execution cycle" of planning, briefing, executing, and debriefing to continuously improve.

“An overwhelming majority of executives (88%)
cite organizational agility as key to global
success...MIT suggests that agile firms grow
revenue 37% faster and generate 30% higher
profits than non-agile. Yet most companies
admit they are not flexible enough to compete
successfully.”
- The Economist, via Jim Highsmith
