Many argue that all organisations should strive to be agile.ใExploiting Agility for Advantage takes a radically different view. The authorโs research shows that requisite agility is required, meaning โnot too much, not too little, of the right type and delivering wanted agility deliverablesโ.
This is a book for managers who want their enterprise to be intelligently agile but donโt know how to achieve this. Part One shows why agility is a strategic option for commercial and not-for-profit enterprises. Part Two describes, in detail, a seven-step agility-orientated development programme for work-groups or entire organisations. Part Three provides academic underpinning on organisational agility for researchers and students of management.
"Agility isnโt easy and developing it is going to need much more than a simple slogan. This book offers very helpful insights into the detailed mechanisms that underpin this capability, and practical guidance around how to build and embed them." (Prof. John Bessant)
