Episode 098. Create a Nimble Organization With Author and CEO Peter High
In his latest book, Getting to Nimble: How to Transform Your Company Into a Digital Leader, Peter High discusses how the pace of change in business today is such that it is becoming easier to go from a legendarily high-performing company to liquidation in a short period of time. Peter joins Patrick to discuss how you and your organization can stay relevant, flexible, and beat the odds.
Thanks Patric and Peter, great discussion.
How would you differentiate nimble from agile?
Thanks,
Bart
Hi Bart,
I posed your question to Peter and here is what he shared. I hope this is helpful.
“Agile is a loaded term as it is a mentality while also describing a specific set of methods for development. The latter can make the former cloudy. Finding a different term to describe the mindset, culture, processes, technology-change, ecosystem, strategy, and the like are aided by referencing “nimbleness” as opposed to agility. Therefore, nimble is a more comprehensive term, in my mind.” – Peter High
