Organisational agility has been around for some years now.

When implemented in the right way organizational agility matters and can significantly increase organizational performance. - Dr. Markus Nini

Needing to be agile and “agility is key to succeed in a VUCA environment” is becoming (has become) a standard vocabulary in many organisations. There is a discussion that organizational agility can significantly increase organizational performance if implemented the right way.

In his blog on this topic, Markus Nini has addressed several topics summarized below:

• Higher level of agility translates into competitive advantage

Agility, in its core refers to a decision-making and decision implementation framework. The assumption is that the people, team and organisations who are capable of making faster decisions of a higher quality and implement them in a timely manner, (can) reach a higher performance level, which in turn translates into a competitive advantage. This is especially so if the organization is exposed to a VUCA environment.

• The core of agility – cycles of structured decision-making and decision-implementation

The constantly changing environment requires any organization to go through cycles of structured decision-making and decision-implementation.

The traditional approach focuses on planning and the Agile approach focuses on implementation, learning and adjustments. Continuously learning and adapting is the key here.
