FOUR AGILITY ROUTINES
To understand an organization’s ability to make timely, effective, and sustained change, the survey asked business leaders to respond to 40 questions related to strategy, structure, human resource practices, and innovation. These 40 questions roll up to FOUR AGILITY ROUTINES.
The authors used these routines to evaluate a company’s agility and then investigated potential relationships with available data on company performance. For the purpose of this survey, “success” was defined as profitability (Return on Assets) above industry average over the 10-year period between 2007 and 2017.
