Yet, doing Agile (the mechanics) is different from being Agile (the mindset). The mindset lets you apply flexible Agile patterns not only for software development teams but for the whole company.<\/p>\n<p>Many experts are looking into implementing company-wide Agility. Yet, they work from one perspective.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A Beyond Budgeting expert might say, \u201cStop fixing the budget annually, because otherwise, you won\u2019t have the flexibility to react to frequent market changes.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>An\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/agilealliance.org\/glossary\/open-space\/\">Open Space<\/a> expert might say, \u201cYou need to make space for what you don\u2019t know and can\u2019t control, for totally new things to emerge. If people can follow their passion, you will be able to implement company-wide Agility, otherwise, people will just do what they are asked.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>A Sociocracy expert might say, \u201cYou first need to resolve the power structure, because as long as you have a hierarchy defined as top-down you will not become agile.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>An Agile expert might say, \u201cYou need to start inspecting and adapting by using regular retrospectives in order to react flexibly, otherwise you will neither be able to learn from the market nor from within your company.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of these perspectives are true, but the perspective is always from within the discipline.<\/p>\n<p>Our new perspective synthesizes these approaches and invites you to take a new, overview perspective that can truly address the challenges of doing business in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This book synthesizes four approaches and shares a perspective that addresses the challenges of business in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":8041627,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","categories":[904],"tags":[946],"class_list":["post-8041641","aa_book","type-aa_book","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-business-agility"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/agilealliance.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/aa_book\/8041641","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/agilealliance.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/aa_book"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/agilealliance.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/aa_book"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agilealliance.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agilealliance.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8041641"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/agilealliance.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/aa_book\/8041641\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agilealliance.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8041627"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/agilealliance.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8041641"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agilealliance.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8041641"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agilealliance.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8041641"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
