Recommendation

In an international panel at Davos 2019, business leaders from diverse industries discuss agility, the business topic du jour. The title of their panel promises a discussion of the trade-offs agile businesses make, and the panelists do address such concerns. However, they devote more brainpower and time toward defining “agile” and the qualities of agile leadership – which are nonetheless worthy topics that the panel explores with humble wisdom and experience. For a clear, thoughtful primer on how to incorporate agility into your organization, you will need to look further afield.

Take-Aways

  • Agility is a mind-set for handling disruption in a volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous (VUCA) world.
  • This mind-set involves swift thinking and even faster action – that is, anticipating change and moving toward it without fully understanding the risks. 
  • Smart firms strive to be their own disruptors. They make constant transformation part of their culture and skill set, especially among middle managers and CEOs.
