Topic: Creating Agile Organizations
Organizations need to be more agile in the future.
In this context, agility means being able to move quickly and easily to accelerate growth. Agile organizations are characterized by clarity around strategic objectives, alignment of organizational goals, and increased efficacy. Organizations must be comfortable with rapidly adapting and failing fast while learning from those failures. They must break large and complex problems into smaller pieces that can be solved in an incremental manner. Agile organizations are willing to allow unimportant priorities to fall to the wayside, so they can focus on the most valuable work. I-O psychologists focused on change management and organizational development can provide support and expertise in transforming traditional organizations into agile organizations.
