If there’s one thing the global business community has learned from the COVID-19 pandemic that continues to ebb, flow and unfold on the daily, wreaking having on bottom lines in every corner of the world in its wake, it’s the outright imperative for companies to be agile “from top to bottom.”
In fact, agility is rapidly establishing itself as “the great equalizer,” asserting its unbridled authority over which companies — from global conglomerates to mom and pops... and EVERYTHING in between — will survive another day. While business agility has always been a key driver and benchmark of notably successful operations, now more than ever it’s become abundantly clear that a business’s ability to rapidly (and accurately) assess a situation and then pivot quickly and with relative ease in response can be a deal breaker in the most profound sense. For many companies, lacking this agility ability, on not just one but multiple (if not all) levels of the operation, is the literal end of the road.
