But organisations need Nimbility, to succeed in todays business market. They need to be rapid, quick, fast. The organisation needs to adapt rapidly to shifting markets, changes in business requirements.
A key factor for any organisation to be nimble,
- The decisions need to be made at the lowest levels possible. ·
- Has no Senior Management ·
- Has Leaders ·
- Have missions and values, not vision.
- Has structure without hierarchies
- Employee turnover is relatively low.
- Has Core Principles, not culture.
Nimble organisations do the following really, really well:-
Get comfortable with change: Agile organizations are comfortable with change and do what they need to do to address these new challenges.
Be clear and simple: Any process, procedure or policy that is overly cumbersome must get kicked to the curb and replaced with a simpler approach, and one that perpetuates and supports faster decision-making and more responsive actions.
Balance stability with agility: First, the perfect blend of standardized and structured rules and processes combined with individual freedoms and flexibility needed to seize market opportunities and respond swiftly to customer demands. Second, a workforce and leadership team functioning in perfect harmony and high collaboration, high trust work environments.
Trust and Empower employees: Trusting and empowering employees, divisions and teams to shift their focus and develop new products, services and methodologies is imperative. Employees must also be entrusted to make decisions at the lowest levels.
Collaboration and Teamwork: Siloes and barriers to teamwork are broken down and leaders lead the way to facilitating healthy dialogue and reward those who collaborate well. Agility- focused leaders know that having more “brains in the game” will lead to better ideas and innovative developments.
