Access the essential membership for Modern Managers
"Agile" used to be something that only dev teams needed to worry about. But these days, agility is a vital attribute for everyone, everywhere.
In a fast-moving and volatile world, it's more important than ever that we're organized, efficient, able to respond quickly and creatively – and resilient: just some of the modern meanings of "agile." And that goes for managers and team members as much as the organizations they work for.
On this episode of Pain Points, Katie Taylor from the Agile Business Consortium gives us a potted history of agile, and presents a powerful argument for incorporating it in any kind of business. She tells Jonathan how agile cultures are created from the top down, but she also highlights the role of managers in putting agility into action.
And she offers advice for anyone who needs to get more agile from today.
