Introducing the Modern Business

Abstract

The modern business, or the current buzz phrase, business agility, focuses on bringing Agile principles and practices through the entire organization. This means optimizing the whole, rather than incenting one group to optimize at the expense of another. In the end, becoming a modern business is really about creating an environment of alignment, autonomy, and trust. That sounds simple, but it’s very difficult. However, if you can get your teams and the business to align on what’s important, push decision making to the teams within your organization, and as we discussed earlier, establish collaboration based on trust, you are on the right path to becoming a modern business.
