Agile alone does not help us succeed in the current world. We need to be resilient and the first mover to succeed. – How to achieve this?

Many organisations have a successful agile transformation behind them, but their business remains problematic. They need to also be resilient and adapt in the ever changing world.

The reason why resilience is, today, more relevant than robustness is connected primarily to the shrinking of the market cycles (or product lifecycle) to less than 7-8 years from conceptualization to full commoditization. This emphasises even more the importance of being first mover or one of the first followers in very competing markets. The need to be able to adapt very quickly to the changes and co-evolve with the market is of primary importance when things appear to be very volatile due to high levels of uncertainty. 

Organisations are complex and becoming resilient is not easy. Still this is possible. In the talk we will come to hear how this can be done.
