    Book description

    In recent years, the concept of agility has captured the executive imagination, and leaders in a variety of industries and companies of all sizes are now searching for ideas on how to effectively utilize agile thinking. This book provides insights on agility from world-class experts on leadership, strategy and organization, alongside seasoned practitioners who have successfully implemented agility programs for companies such as Daimler, Ford Motor Company, J. W. Thompson, Siemens, and NASA. By combining theoretical expertise with a variety of managerial experiences, it provides a wide-ranging yet succinct guide for companies seeking to engage in the transformative journey towards becoming more agile. As such, it will be of great use and interest to executives in all industries, executive education participants and consultants, M.B.A. students and researchers interested in agile. Agility.X prepares leaders for managing under uncertainty and organizations for thriving in turbulent environments.

    Reviews

    'With Agility.X, this collection takes thinking on agility to the next level. Whereas in the past the focus was on making existing organizations more agile, Agility.X is about more fundamental change in organizational scope and competitive advantage. Illustrated with vivid examples from classical orchestral concerts for toddlers to NASA’s Johnson Space Center, this collection is full of practical guidance on the implications of Agility X for leadership, strategy and organization design.'

    Richard Whittington - Saïd Business School and New College, University of Oxford
