BUSINESS AGILITY
Business agility is the capacity and willingness
of an organization to adapt, to create, and
leverage change for their customer's benefit.
This simple statement exposes the dramatic
shift in mindset needed for agile
organizations.

Our most valuable resource, our people & they
need to be loaded with the relevant
information to make precise decisions.
We need new approaches to know how we lead
and align our people, how we form teams, how
we engage with our customers, how we gather
feedback and make decisions.

"We live in a world that’s constantly changing, becoming more
unstable each day, where changes big and
small it's becoming more unpredictable”
“It’s becoming more difficult to anticipate events or
predict how they’ll unfold”
“Problems and their consequences are more multi-layered,
hard to understand”

"It’s unusual for things to be completely clear or precisely measurable.
Therefore, not everything is black and white – grey is also an option.”

This Golden Circle will provide the opening
information needed to find out your 'why' to
thrive in this modern, uncertain, ever-
changing world where we must maintain
speed with a constantly changing
marketplace, with the technology of today--
being displaced by the innovations of
tomorrow.

Business Agility & Distributed Team both
greatly crucial component to reach the
constantly changing goal.
And, organizations that are inspired to adapt
Business Agility at all levels are far more likely
to succeed in our increasingly unpredictable,
complex, obscure world.

It is not a transformation, framework,
practice, or method. It not only focuses
beyond the customer and the market, but
also, it takes care of inside the
organizational culture, systems, rules

CRAWL
All work (e.g. projects or products) has an assumed,
predetermined, & quantifiable value to the organization
in the context of a business outcome. We use this
information to justify, prioritize, and fund the work.
RUN
All our business outcomes have relative targets and regular
measures (including non-financial measures). We are able to quickly
and easily start, pivot or stop work, projects, or products.
FLY
We use adaptive funding models to allocate funds against
value streams (rather than projects). We align governance and
feedback loops to business (or customer) outcomes (rather
than time, cost or scope measures).
WALK
Strategic goals have incremental checkpoints to ensure that
all work aligns with our organization’s goals.
