Agile transformations can disrupt companies if not managed properly. The document discusses several challenges companies may face during a disruption including communication breakdowns, leadership crises, and difficulties adapting to new ways of working. It also notes that many companies are investing heavily in digital technologies but most do not feel prepared for the level of change required. Finally, it emphasizes the need for organizations to focus on areas like strategy, adaptability, speed of execution, building new skills, and practicing effective change management in order to successfully control disruptions.
