Recommendation

The ways that companies innovate are changing. Agile organizations rely on autonomous, multidiscliplinary teams within their firms to develop new products and ideas faster than traditionally structured companies. But firms must transform for agile teams to flourish. Management experts at the Boston Consulting Group advise on how senior leaders can move beyond mere pilot programs to create a successful agile organization. This practical overview will benefit mystified senior executives wanting to foster long-term agile development.

Take-Aways

  • Agile organizations rely on multidiscliplinary teams to innovate more efficiently than traditional firms.
  • To avoid sacrificing the benefits of “speed, customer focus and employee engagement,” senior leaders must transform their organizational structures to accommodate agile principles. 
  • It’s difficult to manage agile teams as an exception within a company.
