  3. We work in a global market where access to information is at our finger tips and resources can be reallocated quickly to create competitive advantage • Times are turbulent – there is a need to be continually sensing and responding to the market/environment in which we operate • Agility means competitive advantage Why is agility important?

Ability to improve operations and processes • Staff who are accountable • Clear goals and objectives • Ability to quickly reallocate resources from one portfolio to another • Requires talent and managerial attention • Ability to see strategically game changing opportunities • Look forward, plan ahead and be ready to act Agility – operational, portfolio, strategic

  5. Push boundaries and challenge old ways of doing things • Encourage risk • mistakes are okay as long as we learn from them • Not interested in playing it safe • Want to know what they can do – not what they can’t do Agile Leaders

  6. Workforce has the attitude that work is something you do – not a place to go • Flexible on work rules and where work is done • Shift from time and attendance to specific targets and goals • Balanced score card approach – what gets measured gets done • Variable job assignments • Skill set is transferable from one project to another Agile Workforces

  7. Organizational charts are flat • Employees need to be connected to information and knowledge • Employees need to have access to the decision makers • Titles are not as important as the ability to respond to customer needs and have impact on the outcomes of the business Agile – Organizational Structure

  8. Learning environment • Sharing of information • Open communication; people checking in often to ask how members of the team are doing • Sensitivity to “availability” as most do not work regular shifts Agile – Organizational Culture
