Elevator Pitch

We live in a VUCA world. Where once it was enough to administer existing products and services efficiently, Equally creation of valuable new products and services, together with the ability to reinvent themselves in the face of constant change and disruption. This is the crux of business agility

Description

Despite this challenging new business climate, it seems that many organizations remain perfectly evolved for a context that no longer exists. Contrary to popular belief, merely adopting a few trendy new processes, tools, or technologies will not lead organizations to become more adaptive, more responsive, and more innovative. Those taking this approach almost invariably face frustration and disappointment. Just as seeking to install an Android app on an iPhone powered by iOS will inevitably lead to failure, seeking to install modern business practices in an organization with traditional cultures, structures, policies, and leadership styles will yield the same disappointing results. The inconvenient truth that many continue to overlook is that to get meaningful results, the underlying organizational operating system must be updated to one that supports these new ways of working. This involves changes across the entire organization. There are, in fact, six key areas of focus that contribute to the creation of an organizational operating system primed for business agility. we will briefly outline each area and the vital role each plays.
