WHAT IS AN AGILE ORGANIZATION?
In the past, one may have viewed “agility” as just a common buzzword that’s bounced around at corporate meetings. However, today agility is proving to be an essential business asset, especially for manufacturers, as they strive to introduce innovative products to customers on schedule.
So exactly what are the characteristics of an agile organization?
An agile organization exhibits the ability to react and adapt quickly, renew itself, and succeed in a rapidly changing, turbulent environment. It makes quick, informed decisions and constantly pivots without losing sight of the customer.
Agile product manufacturers are more inclined to conduct routine risk assessments and implement countermeasures to lessen the impact of sudden supply chain disruptions, compliance issues, and other roadblocks that compromise new product development and introduction (NPDI).
