Reflecting on my journey through the realms of agility and organizational dynamics, I've come to realize that agility is often misunderstood. It's not merely about adopting a set of practices or frameworks. Instead, it's a mindset, a way of being that empowers organizations to respond swiftly and effectively to market changes. The true essence of agility lies in its ability to transform not just processes but mindsets.

Agile is dead! ☠️ The new year is only a few weeks old, but I’ve already read various LinkedIn articles claiming the death of Agile. Again. ?♀️ Given the yearly claims of Agile’s death, we can draw various conclusions. Agile never really died, or it reincarnated and came back alive and kicking.

Have you ever thought about how grocery shopping is a form of inventory management? Think about it — you probably visit the store often to restock your home with fresh produce.
