What are the Characteristics of an Agile Organization?by Cat Symonds
Times have changed and it is no longer common for people to remain at the same company for the duration of their working life. It is far more customary for employees to change positions and move onto other companies on a fairly regular basis. To adapt to this trend, companies have to embrace new working models and organizational structures. One such example is the agile organization. Companies like Google, Amazon, and Netflix have demonstrated the potential success of developing an agile team structure. However, moving to an agile operating model is not easy, especially for established companies with defined hierarchies and working models. It is therefore vital for companies to understand what these structures are and how they work before making any organizational changes.
The Five Trademarks of Agile Organizationsby Wouter Aghina, Karin Ahlback, Aaron De Smet, Gerald Lackey, Michael Lurie, Monica Murarka, and Christopher Hanscomb
Agile organizations—of any size and across industries—have five key elements in common. This article was written collaboratively by the McKinsey Agile Tribe, a group of over 50 global colleagues bringing expertise from the digital, operations, marketing, and organization disciplines. They integrate their deep experience and thought leadership to extract the best from McKinsey’s global experience as it helps organizations transform themselves into agile organizations. Our experience and research demonstrate that successful agile organizations consistently exhibit the five trademarks described in this article. The trademarks include a network of teams within a people-centered culture that operates in rapid learning and fast decision cycles which are enabled by technology, and a common purpose that co-creates value for all stakeholders. These trademarks complement the findings from “How to create an agile organization.”
