When an organisation builds its commercial strategy, it looks at the gaps in the market, considers its strengths (and competitors’ weaknesses) and takes account of the forces shaping its sector. The goal is to stand out – to be special.

Organisational agility is a company-wide way of working shown to drive top-tier financial performance. It requires centring on customers, speeding up time to value, designing for simplicity, building to evolve and empowering people.

Leaders who are willing to bring their true selves to the job are more likely to connect with their workforce in the ways that matter most.

The benefits of agility are clear to those who’ve experienced it: alert, aware and inclusive teams; quicker response times to customer needs and competitive changes; and being able to unlock creativity and ingenuity.

As organisations turn to agility to solve today’s challenges, they must harness their diversity to drive innovation and transformation, and to create opportunity from complexity.

There’s a new way to lead that, whatever uncertainty we face, enables us to unlock opportunity with ingenuity. Our research explores the behaviours and actions vital to leadership today and in the future.
