Abstract
Agility refers to a company’s ability to move quickly, flexibly, and decisively in the face of obstacles, new opportunities, a changing environment or market conditions, or a new strategy. For the vital organization, this includes the ability to react quickly to Future Potential-exploration results, whether they are successful or not. Agile companies learn to “fail fast,” moving on quickly from exploration that does not work, but also swiftly turning successful exploration efforts into Current Performance execution.
