Notes to Editors
What is an agile business?
An agile business is an organisation that can respond quickly and effectively to opportunities and threats whether they are found in its internal or external environments (commercial, legal, technological, social, moral or political).
Agile businesses value:
- Innovation over status quo
- Inspiring leadership over conservative management
- Collaborative autonomy over hierarchical control
- Customer focus over self-interest
