Unlocking Agility: A Strategic Roadmap

As you approach the end of the book, let’s take a look back and reflect briefly on what we’ve covered so far. In Chapter 1, “The Agile Imperative,” and Chapter 2, “Enterprise Agility,” we defined business agility, identified why it is so critical in today’s ever-changing business environment, and explored its theoretical and practical origins. What was once a movement started by people in the software industry is now a fundamentally different way of working that embraces uncertainty, organizational learning, and optimizing for customer value.

We then took a closer look at the five dimensions of agility that greatly affect the degree to which we’re able to unlock agility in our organization.
