In this episode, David talks about business agility. How to move quickly and easily when things change or to take advantage of new opportunities. He shares 5 ways to create an agile culture.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• For businesses, agility is becoming increasingly important.
• When your market changes, legislation, fiscal policies, and labour trends change you have to adapt.
• Being agile enables you to spot a need and fill it before your competitors do.
• Engage your people, trust, and empower them so they can move fast.
• Prioritise the 3 or 4 things that must be done.
• Every 12 weeks review progress. This reminds everyone of what they need to be doing.
• Use processes and automate.
• Have a fall-back position.
