I am working on the materials for a two-day class on organizational agility and have adopted the following definition:
Organizational Agility is your enterprise’s capacity to be consistently adaptable without having to change. It is the efficiency with which your organization can respond to nonstop change.
What do you think about this definition? Let’s break it down a bit.
- What does it mean to be consistently adaptable?
- What does “without having to change” look like? What would this look like in the world of sports or the arts?
- What does the phrase “efficiency with which your organization can respond to nonstop change” mean and how does this contrast more traditional change management techniques and methods?
