About this listen
More value from less work.
An unstoppable business revolution is under way - and it is Agile. Companies that embrace Agile Management learn to connect everyone and everything...all the time. They can deliver instant, intimate, frictionless value on a large scale.
Agile began emerging many decades ago, but truly took off in the software development industry. Sparking dramatic improvements in quality, innovation, and speed-to-market, the Agile movement is now spreading quickly throughout all kinds of companies. It enables a team, a unit, or an enterprise to nimbly adapt and upgrade products and services to meet rapidly changing technology and customer needs. And the process is applicable anywhere—companies don’t need to be born Agile, like Spotify. Even centuries-old Barclays is making the transition and reaping rewards.
Filled with examples from every sector, The Age of Agile helps readers:
- Master the three laws of Agile Management (team, customer, network)
- Embrace the new mindset
- Overcome constraints
- Employ meaningful metrics
- Make the entire organization Agile
- And more
With this breakthrough approach, even global giants can learn to act entrepreneurially. Their future depends on it.

agility n critic of financialized capitalism
Great read. the clarity around agile management - well beyond software development and technical matters, the author looks at agility of the enterprise, internally to enable external/market agility - critical for innovation, customer satisfaction and the success of the firm. This leads directly to conclusions critical of financialized US style capitalism, the focused share holder value, share buy backs and cost accounting at the expense of labour force driven innovation and long term value focus on customer satisfaction. all neglected factors that destroyed US manufacturing, and led to the dot com, the 2008 crisis and it's ongoing aftermath. I would only now that the solution will note and had not come from the power centres benefiting (the financial centre, corporations, c-suite and boards of directors) but rather from organised labour and a politically and economically savvy and active community, placing pressure on political leaders such as happened in the early 20th century. The threat of a French Revolution worked to lay the paths for recovery from the great depression, and so can again this time.

Agile in part
Some real gems buried amongst the rhetoric... some of the rhetoric was interesting ... some of it just unrelated fill.

Not really about agile.
The glosses over agile and spends most of the time lamenting current corporate practices related to strategy and share buybacks. Not what I wanted.
