Business Agility
The current pandemic was a real test for most businesses to really check if they are able to quickly adapt to emerging market changes and unpredicted external changes. Did your business make it through the pandemic? How agile did your business turn out to be?
The Covid19 pandemic definitely accelerated digital transformation of most companies however achieving business agility through digital services was a need all along. There was always a need for businesses to deploy innovative practices and services however the focus shifted from leveraging scale and market-share, to more agility and better decision-making.
The Breaking Point –
Business agility does not happen overnight and most definitely not by accident. Realizing the possibility in having digital disruptions, organizational schemes need to be accompanied by a scalable and sustainable solution. In the digital era, organization professionals thrive during challenging times by creating a “smart” company through shifting their focus onto:
-
Company strategy
Setting a company strategy to quickly adapt to business change instead of rapid software development and growth, making it’s a more agile business.
-
Data produced
Data produced by the organization should not be going to waste but instead, Data can be collected and stored for access later on when needed.
-
Insightful decision making
Having the data alone at hand and not making any use of it is pretty much useless. Therefore, the data stored should be made use of through advanced analytical tools.
In other words, you can have the latest most sophisticated digital tools but failing to manage your organizations information properly will not ensure business agility but instead very temporary short-term rewards.
Achieving Business Agility –
Every company today is seeking to become fit by freeing itself from the restraints of legacy thinking and focusing on empowering customers and embedding latest technologies into their workflows.
With that being said, digital transformation is not just a simple shift to automated workflows, but instead is an ongoing process of continual change to achieve and maintain business agility.
