What is an Agile Business?

An agile business is an organisation that embraces the agile philosophy and values at its core, from its people and culture, to its structure and technology. Consequently, an agile business is customer centric.

An agile business can respond quickly and effectively to opportunities and threats found in its internal and external environments (be they commercial, legal, technological, social, moral or political).

Business agility is the ability of an organisation to:

Adapt quickly to market changes – internally and externally
Respond rapidly and flexibly to customer demands
Adapt and lead change in a productive and cost-effective way without compromising quality
Continuously be at a competitive advantage

Business agility is concerned with the adoption and evolution of values, behaviours and capabilities. These enable businesses and individuals to be more adaptive, creative and resilient when dealing with complexity, uncertainty and change leading to improved well-being and better outcomes.
