According to thought leader Dr Laurence Lyons:
‘The price of agility is under-utilisation.’
Agile – Alert – Nimble – Sprightly, highly desirable characteristics. Being agile is the aspirational goal of most business leaders, but it comes at a cost.
How do you resource the need to deliver value to your existing customers with the need to be continuously curious and quick to spot opportunities.
‘How do you factor in the fat which makes you fit?’
Who keeps the wheels on the car? How do you ensure that the business as usual team don’t feel under valued as the development team are commissioned to seek new and novel solutions?
How do you ensure that insights from the people working with your customers reach strategic thinkers and inform their decision making?
How do you create a culture where reflection time is valued, where the time and inclination to innovate are actively encouraged?
And how do you achieve all the above if the message you send is ‘do more with less?’
