Creating Adaptive Organizations with Agile Business Planning

The ability to respond to changes in the organizational environment is more critical than ever. Businesses in every industry are being disrupted and are increasingly turning to techniques like OKR, Agile, and lean-agile leadership to navigate uncertainty. Despite the increased demand for these techniques, many leaders aren't sure how to start on their journey to creating agile cultures while continuing to deliver value to the organization.

In this webinar, business agility expert Steven Voyles discusses how Agile Business Planning can help you create a more adaptive organization. He talks about how tools like Adaptive Quarterly Steering, OKR, and Enterprise Planning Rooms can enable your organization to change course quickly while keeping everyone aligned.

As more organizations realize the need to be adaptive in the marketplace, "Agility" as an organizational concept has increased in popularity. Organizations in every industry in every corner of the globe are searching for ways to make themselves more "Agile." While this is excellent news for those of us that want to see these practices adopted for the benefit of everyone in all organizations, the increased popularity doesn't come without drawbacks. This increased focus on organizational agility has created a paradigm in which many leaders see "agile transformation" as necessary to keep their jobs even if they don't fully understand what organizational agility looks like or the sacrifices required to move in that direction.

If you are considering leading an effort to increase agility in your organization, here are some questions that are vital to ask before heading out. The answers your senior leadership team gives you to these questions can help you understand if you have the support to make agile practices stick in your organization.
