2. Organizational agility
is…
• What?

3. Organizational agility is… (John’s version)
The ability to drive disruption in the industry & the marketplace, an adaptive way of being/
learning/sensemaking, through ↑effectiveness, ↑frequency-of-impact, ↑quality, ↑learning,
↓impediments, ↑flow, ↑efficiency, and ↑sustainability.
It looks like small cross-skilled cross-functional teams or teams-of-teams using Agile, Lean,
Lean/Agile methods, or the Agile Manifesto principles.
It feels like, ↑psychological-safety, ↑engagement (employees, customers, partners and other
stakeholders), ↑respect, ↑leaders-embracing-uncertainty, ↑leaders-serving-teams, ↑leaders-
as-coaches, ↑excellence, ↑transparency, ↑inspection, ↑adaptation, ↑team-based-
commitment, ↑openness, ↑inclusion, ↑courage, ↑passion, ↑focus, ↑energy, and ↑fun.
It is underpinned by the Agile Manifesto at www.agilemanifesto.org.
It’s a helpful way of being in this Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous world. It is a
required skill set for the 21st century, regardless of speciality or function.

4. What’s your
organization’s
direction of travel?
I’m aware of 29 reasons agility
might be useful, and it’s just a
mean to an end…

5. Delivering, measuring, improving empirically
