Business Agility is one of the essential capabilities in any organisation nowadays. Its importance has grown significantly in recent years. When crystallised, Business Agility is a set of integrated practices that help organisations to:

  • gain the ability to react more quickly to changes in the ecosystem and the market
  • better achieve strategic goals in a complex and uncertain environment
  • manage the whole in an integrated way (architecture, customer experience, data protection, brand, etc.)
  • create value and relevance for all stakeholders (customers, employees, partners, and society)

IPMA Smarter U Special Interest Group members will approach Business Agility from directions like: Agile Culture, Agile Leadership, Agile Strategy, Agile Governance, Agile People and over all Agile Project, Programme, and Portfolio Management and good agile practices.
