If one even looks back five years ago, how major industries operated and conducted business is starkly different from how they function now. Processes like sales, support, operations, innovation are dependent on technology. Working in offices isn’t the same. How employees communicate with each other and communicate with customers has changed drastically. And so have the limits of geographies; organizations are becoming more and more international and multinational. This has led to businesses serving both global and local customers. And all of this is being achieved via the lever that is technology. It is the technological innovation that is rampantly making more and more businesses chart a growth story.
Agility is a central storyline in this story of successful businesses. Conventionally, the concept of “agility” was a part of just “good organizations” and a metric most innovative companies look at. However today it is an important part of most successful companies
If one was to define agility, it goes something like this:
Agility n, 1. Ability to move quickly and easily, 2. Ability to think and make decisions quickly
