Creating Your Organization's Business Agility Strategy Optimally, your organization's business strategy and business agility strategy are completely coupled together, one seamlessly supporting the other. Practically, what many organizations experience today is a tug-of-war between their business strategy and this thing called 'business agility.' Or, a lack of business agility strategy altogether, leaving the business strategy more susceptible, and even fragile, when unforeseen changes inevitably occur. We need a way to think about business agility, coupled with business strategy, so that we can live into the reality of harnessing change for good. This session will expose you to a recently published body of work, Domains of Business Agility, which serves as a model for creating business agility strategy. Think of it as a skeleton, or a thinking tool. Used this way, the model allows leaders to answer the question, 'How much business agility do we need in various parts of our organization as a seamless support to our overall business strategy?' In this session, Lyssa Adkins, author of Coaching Agile Teams and Agile/Leadership Coach, leads you through the key steps for creating such a business agility/business strategy. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs.

And even if we can draw on 'experience', it may represent the lowest form of innovation which may not be good enough; we are limiting ourselves to only what we know now.Agile is about mindset, not about process. Mindset can support agile behaviors or can hinder them. Improvement exercises involve multiple people or groups working on different parts of the puzzle; how they understand customer needs and how they collaborate to create a cohesive whole can greatly influence success. So the most important question becomes, 'How might we develop an Agile mindset?'The connection between Agile and Toyota Kata is intriguing. When you look into why, it's actually quite plain and simple. Further, when you have an understanding of Toyota Kata, how it came about and why, then its potential value to those adopting Agile shines through even more so. You will recognize the potential of the 2 unintentionally hidden managerial routines at Toyota from which 'Toyota Kata' was born."One of the best, compact introductions to Toyota Kata that I've seen!" (Quote by Mike Rother, author of 'Toyota Kata', following a presentation by Oscar in Austin TX in Feb 2020.)
