Details for The Agility Imperative

Change is the only constant. So said the ancient Greeks over 2,500 years ago. To be more precise, Heraclitus is famous for his doctrine that change is central to the universe, stated simply in his famous saying from approximately 500BC, "You cannot step twice into the same river." If anything, most of us would now observe that not only is change all around us but the pace of change is itself accelerating. The time available to respond to change or to effect change seems to be shorter and shorter.

Organizations of all types are today under increasing pressure to adapt frequently and in aggressive timescales. So why is this pressure increasing? What is agility and why is it imperative? How can your organization become more agile?
