The Agile Enterprise
MAKING CHANGE ROUTINE
What is AgEnt?
An Agile Enterprise strives to make change
a routine part of organizational life to reduce or eliminate the trauma that paralyzes many businesses attempting to adapt to new markets, informed and empowered customers, and social environments. Because change is perpetual, the Agile Enterprise is able to nimbly adjust to and take advantage of emerging opportunities. An Agile Enterprise views itself as an integral component of a larger system whose activities produce a ripple effect of change both within the enterprise itself and the broader system in which it operates.
Enabling the Agile Enterprise is the emerging use and acceptance of new light-weight technologies, Open Source applications, Cloud-based development, and rapid application development. These platforms facilitate the tenets of an Agile Enterprise by flattening the enterprise and making transformation, innovation, communication, collaboration, and increased productivity available to all levels of the organization – hence Agile Enterprise or "AgEnt" for change...
