In today’s dynamic environment, competitive success depends on being able to quickly respond to changing market, economic and regulatory conditions. Everything in the enterprise has to be done much faster than it was done in the past–and that means enterprise has to be able to quickly respond and change directions to support critical strategic initiatives and requirements.
The need for speed is focusing attention on the importance of enterprise agility. Unfortunately, agile enterprise is an oxymoron in many organizations because quick response to changing conditions and requirements is not an enterprise characteristic. That has to change. Enterprise has to be reshaped to become an agile asset the enterprise can quickly redirect to compete and operate effectively in an increasingly competitive global marketplace.
Making enterprise fast and flexible has to happen, but it isn’t going to be easy. It’s going to require major changes in enterprise processes, infrastructures and technologies. Before addressing the process and structural changes, enterprise needs to create a culture that focuses on the importance of quick response and quick change.
Using digital strategy and a digital enterprise framework, we make enterprises agile.
