DESCRIPTION

Many talks about doing Agile versus being Agile. The session presents a scientific definition of Agility, how to move from doing Agile to being Agile. Characteristics of Agility that can be enhanced, inhibitors the can be reduced and removed and contexts where Agility is an advantage are all presented in this session. All this enables you, a team and an organization to decide when and to know how to go from doing Agile to being Agile. References The content of this session is based on studies and experiments promoted by U.S. DoD and NATO research and presented in these books: The Agility Advantage: A Survival Guide For Complex Enterprises and Endeavors; David Alberts; 2011. Power to the Edge: Command...Control...in the Information Age; David Alberts and Richard Hayes; 2003.
