Agile Practices for
Organizational Excellence and Sustainability

INTRODUCTION

As the world changes at a dizzying pace, organizations must swiftly navigate and be highly adaptive by creatively manipulating these changes as an opportunity to transform and radically improve, rather than simply getting through.
