Business Agility in practice with Integral Objectives

Business Agility is the new trend-topic in the Agile community lingo. For the international Agile community, is more than clear that is time to make Agile adoptions to progress and go beyond IT.

As we are approaching the whole business, understanding strategic planning becomes critical for the Agile movement. In the Agile community we developed and shared advanced strategies to set goals but the question we need to answer now is “which goals to set”.

We also understood that different players within the same organisation put emphasis on different business needs such as: standardisation, efficiency, experimentation or risk management. Often defining conflicting goals that frequently generate unnecessary friction and lead to a remarkable waste of energy and resources.

Being Agile now means that all departments and final customers will feel the benefits of a new business approach. An integral understanding of organisations is needed to structure this change that goes beyond product development.
Now that we are re-framing Agility, new questions arise: how does business Agility look like? what are the real benefits to the business? why should we care? how to make it happen? can we measure Business Agility? What’s the impact of Agile on Strategic planning? and even more, what’s next?.

Angel will give his answer to all these questions from a systemic perspective using Integral theory and complexity thinking in the service of a pragmatic approach to business agility.

This talk will help the audience to explore Agile beyond the “Dogma” and to understand how to drive a systemic evolution to take businesses to their next stage. Furthermore they will learn a simple and structured strategy to establish aligned organisational objectives and rise organisational contiousness to take the the system to the next stage.
