Evolving from “Agile Transformations” to “Enterprise Business Agility”
There is a noticeable shift and perhaps an evolution from focusing on Agile transformations, which aim to optimize delivery within IT, to enabling Enterprise Business Agility (EBA) – transformations where a more holistic strategy is needed to enable true Enterprise Agility both within technology and beyond.

Relying solely on activity-based metrics makes it far too easy for a company to assume that all is well, even when it isn’t. If your company is caught in this “business as usual” paradigm, you’re not alone. Many companies have not yet shifted their focus toward the metrics that actually matter. It’s why seemingly successful companies “suddenly” fail.
