Optimize your organizational structure for agility

Optimize your organizational structure for agility

Organizations typically focus on improved collaboration within teams, yet they do necklet the potential of improved inter-team collaboration. For an organization “being agile” instead of “doing agile”, it is crucial to apply organizational design thinking and systems modelling to optimize the whole organization for agility and provide the surrounding conditions for the teams’ collaboration.
Successful agile adoptions require that there is a real need for change, and that the senior management is willing to lead and support the change. Cross-functional, cross-component, autonomous, real teams are the key to building an agile organization.
