Using a combination of first-hand research and in-depth case studies, Directing the Agile Organisation offers a fresh approach to business management, applying Agile processes pioneered in the IT and manufacturing industries.

How will your responsibilities change under Agile Business Management? What techniques can you use to manage your staff? *Chapter 2 discusses your organisation's relationship and interaction with its customers. What are their needs and goals, and how can you work together to achieve them? *Chapter 3 provides the organisational context in which Agile Business Management operates. It discusses lean management structures and the techniques to manage different types of staff, teams and organisations. *Chapter 4 looks at how you and your team work the "agile way" and describes tools and techniques to help optimise workflow, exploit change and manage customer requirements.The book closes with a look at associated financial models that support your Agile organisation, the processes you can use to run an Agile Business Management transformation, and the first steps to take towards that transformation. Directing the Agile Organisation will be of interest to managers and senior executives who want to improve business processes in order to remain competitive in today's market. |
