For the future, we need to invest in research and development so we can continue to grow. If competitors saturate our market, or new technology supersedes a current product line, the company is forced to innovate or make way. A transformation is a breakthrough, whether done in crisis or not. Unlike machines, individuals have the potential for anticipating obsolescence. They can learn, change and grow.
Agile management is that same power for organizations.
Our success as a species derives from our ability to take advantage of change. Evolving from the assembly line and scientific management, which taught people to think and function in machine-like ways, we see ourselves learning to create organizational structures based on systems thinking and change. Agility is like falling in love with change. Agile interface management is learning to live with it after the marriage.
