Leading Agile Transformation (McKinsey 2018)
To survive and thrive today, many organizations are undertaking the fundamental shift from a traditional organizational model designed for the industrial economy to an agile model designed for today’s digital economy. This paradigm shift heralds a new form of organization that enables innovation, collaboration, and value creation at unprecedented speed, scale, and impact. Making this shift can be exhilarating. To form and lead an agile transformation successfully, leaders need a new approach. The mind-sets and skills they have carefully honed over years of experience are necessary but not sufficient to lead 21st-century organizations. By evolving their ability to lead, leaders can transform their organizations.
