A Declaration for Organizational Agility

Our world is constantly changing and businesses are struggling to adapt. This is a declaration for organizations to support long term prosperity through agility, the ability to move quickly and easily:

Decentralized organizational structures over traditional structures

Cross functional teams over functional silos

Servant leadership over command and control management

Product focus over project focus

Lean budgeting over traditional budgeting

Transparency over secrecy

I have found the above items on the left allow for more organizational agility. It appears most organizations today do more of what is on the right. This tends to slow the organization down and reduce agility.

What have you found improves organizational agility? Please leave a comment below.
