The 5 steps to build business agility

Is your business adaptable?

The question is, Is your business adaptable? Does it have the capability to adapt and change?

Personal and business agility is really important these days. It’s not enough to be able to change—you must be able to react.

You need agility: the ability to rapidly adapt, both internally and externally, to changes on an ongoing basis. This will allow you to continue to maintain and develop your competitive advantage.

If you don’t adapt you get left behind, lose your competitive edge, and risk becoming irrelevant or obsolete.

With that warning in mind, I’d like to share with you five steps to help you build agility in your business.

Identify and Change

Identify what needs to change in your business and why. Things don’t always stay the same and it’s important to roll with it. Look externally and internally.

Choose your Top 2-3

Identify your top two or three priorities for change. Understand why they are priorities and generate some really good alternatives taking that reasoning into account.

Any Alternatives

Evaluate the alternatives. Weigh them up and determine which one is the best fit.

Select the key priority

Commit to addressing this. You will need to dedicate resources, people, time, and money to get it done. You must commit; you have to be tenacious on this!

Revise, review, repeat.

Continually monitor how it is going and be prepared to pivot what you are doing or even drop it and take another tack. You need to be agile continuously, as change is continuous.
