Key benefits

  • • Prepare your company to navigate the rapidly-moving business world
  • • Enhance Agility in every component of your organization
  • • Build a framework that meets the unique requirements of your enterprise

Description

The biggest challenge enterprises face today is dealing with fast-paced change in all spheres of business. Enterprise Agility shows how an enterprise can address this challenge head on and thrive in the dynamic environment. Avoiding the mechanistic construction of existing enterprises that focus on predictability and certainty, Enterprise Agility delivers practical advice for responding and adapting to the scale and accelerating pace of disruptive change in the business environment. Agility is a fundamental shift in thinking about how enterprises work to effectively deal with disruptive changes in the business environment. The core belief underlying agility is that enterprises are open and living systems. These living systems, also known as complex adaptive systems (CAS), are ideally suited to deal with change very effectively. Agility is to enterprises what health is to humans. There are some foundational principles that can be broadly applied, but the definition of healthy is very specific to each individual. Enterprise Agility takes a similar approach with regard to agility: it suggests foundational practices to improve the overall health of the body—culture, mindset, and leadership—and the health of its various organs: people, process, governance, structure, technology, and customers. The book also suggests a practical framework to create a plan to enhance agility.

Who is this book for?

Enterprise Agility is a tool for anyone with the motivation to influence outcomes in an enterprise, who aspires to improve Agility. Readers from the following backgrounds will benefit: chief executive officer, chief information officer, people/human resource director, information technology director, head of change program, head of transformation, and Agile coach/consultant.

I thoroughly enjoyed Sunil’s book. It very much mimics the experience and reflects the findings and learnings that we are going through over last few years in my organization on the journey to agility.It is about the journey, not the transformation, as Sunil says, journey to resilience, adaptability, and creativity. The book gives you a direction and set of key principles for the continuous improvement and learning, easily adjusted and can be applied to a specific context. It will provide you with a set of guidelines to assist with creating a roadmap to agility, with the focus on ‘being’ agile and not just ‘doing’ agile.In the VUCA world, the world that is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous, the Enterprise to be successful and relevant has to mature towards responsiveness and flexibility, be resilient, innovative and adaptive, and become learning organization. Sunil talks about Complex Adaptive System (CAS) as an agile living system that continuously evolves, adapts and is feedback driven, with the acknowledgement that ‘destruction is part of the evolution’, with built in ‘fail safe’ principles, and culture where people challenge anything that is not adding value, with the leadership that values diversity and inclusiveness, end empowers people. Through the understanding Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) and applying principled that CAS is driven by to the Enterprise you’ll start the journey to agility.As I was reading the book, every part, every chapter, every sentence was confirmation of the practical experience and deep learning and it provides great guideline for the new travelers.Great book! Highly recommend it!

Amazing book and a must read for everyone. Although the book is written for CxO's; it has an excellent read for Middle management as they are the ones who actually bring in the Agility into any Organization. Sunil clearly describes the difference being doing and being Agile that is fundamental and connects well. Quite a few places everything becomes a tick in the box exercise and Sunil highlights the risks of doing that and how to truly embrace Agility. Although a bit long, the book is well paced and Sunil delves into the details of every aspect of Agility
