Definitely, Maybe Agile

Agile Without the A-Word


Listen Later

In this episode, Peter and Dave discuss an article by Steve Denning published in Forbes titled "Why the World's Most Valuable Firms Are so Agile." They explore Denning's observations about the agile mindset and characteristics exhibited by highly successful companies. The discussion revolves around the relationship between adopting an agile approach and organizational performance, as well as the potential correlation or causation between agile ways of working and the exceptional valuations of these firms.

This week's takeaways:

  • Keep an eye on Steve Denning's work.
  • Focus on financial performance.
  • Avoid using the term "agile" and focus on the outcome you are trying to achieve.
