What is agility in business?
Agility in business refers to a company's ability to quickly and effectively respond to changes in the market, customer needs, and emerging trends.
Agile companies are able to alter their strategies, processes, and resources to stay ahead of the curve and adapt to new challenges and opportunities.
Why is agility important in business?
Agility has become increasingly important in today's business landscape, driven by several factors:
- Rapidly changing market conditions - the market is constantly evolving, and companies that are slow to adapt risk being left behind.
- Emerging technologies - new technologies are emerging at an unprecedented pace, and companies that are not able to leverage them effectively risk being outpaced by their competitors.
- Increased competition - competition is intensifying in many industries, and companies that are not able to differentiate themselves risk losing market share.
- Changing customer expectations - customers are more informed and have higher expectations than ever before, and companies that are not able to meet their needs risk losing their loyalty.
