# A Robust Statistical Methodology for Measuring Enterprise Agility
## 5 Discussion: Key Recommendations for Implementing a System for Measuring Enterprise Agility  
Implementing a system for measuring enterprise agility may seem like a complex task, especially if the organization has no previous experience in this field. However, there are some key recommendations that can help guide the process and ensure its success:  
1. Define the purpose and objectives of the measurement system: The first step in implementing a system for measuring enterprise agility is to define its purpose and objectives. Why do we want to measure enterprise agility? What results do we expect to obtain? Which areas of the organization do we want to improve? What matters to measure in this transformation? These questions should be answered before starting to collect data, and ideally, it should be a co-created process that connects with the organization's vision and purpose [53].
2. Identify the key dimensions of enterprise agility: To measure organizational agility effectively, it is important to identify the key dimensions that must be measured. These may include the ability to experiment and adapt to change [13], the speed of decision-making, project maturity, the ability to learn and continuously improve, collaboration, and transparency in communication, among others [14].
3. Select appropriate metrics and measurement tools: Once the key dimensions have been identified, it is necessary to select appropriate metrics and measurement tools for each of them. Metrics may include response time to changes, product delivery time, the number of production errors, customer satisfaction, the number of agile practitioners, among others. Measurement tools may vary from surveys and interviews for perception metrics to real-time database reading for operational metrics. It is ideal to incorporate data analysis tools [54].
4. Establish a system for data collection and analysis: The next step is to establish a system for data collection and analysis. This may involve real-time data capture and processing through a polynomial that calculates a global metric, which can scale both vertically and horizontally. Here, exploratory data analysis is essential to visualize information and help identify patterns and insights, create timely alerts [54], and most importantly, define research questions and continuous improvement hypotheses. It is important to ensure that the data collection and analysis system is reliable and consistent to ensure the accuracy of the results.
5. Establish a feedback and continuous improvement process: Finally, it is important to establish a feedback and continuous improvement process [11; 18] to ensure that the enterprise agility measurement system is working effectively. This may involve re

viewing and adjusting metrics and measurement tools, reviewing the results obtained, and implementing improvements [44] to address the areas for improvement identified.  
By following these steps, an organization can measure and improve its enterprise agility effectively, reliably, and consistently. Lastly, it is important to remember that all of the above requires a highly connected human team with the organizational transformational purpose [53]. Without this connection, there will be no essential inspiration, momentum, and energy to energize the organization [19].
