Abstract  

Ronald G. Ross, Roger T. Burlton and John A. Zachman have published the “Business Agility Manifesto.”  It is a comprehensive survey of issues that must be considered by management as well as operations in any undertaking to make a business agile.

­­­­

 Topics to be covered include:

                                    What true Business Agility is

                                    The Grounding – Management Imperatives

                                    Challenges organizations face today

                                    Solutions the Manifesto prescribes

                                    The road ahead

                                    How to achieve Business Agility

Warning:  this is an infusion of honesty.  If you are looking for a “silver bullet,”  this presentation is not for you because there are no “silver bullets.”  Actual work is going to have to take place and the nature of the work is engineering work, engineering design work.

Having said this, Business Agility is NOT optional.  Any Business that wants to stay in business is going to have to roll up their sleeves and start working on it.  It is going to have to become a way of life, not simply a project.

Learning Objectives

Definition of Business Agility

A sense of urgency to act

The nature of the engineering work

required.
