In Transitioning to Agility, one of the developers of the Agility Movement shows you step by step how to accomplish the daunting feat of transitioning your organization from one mired in rigid mass production to one capable of super-flexible, blazing-fast mass customization. The book offers a pragmatic approach to creating an entirely new type of organization with no functional hand-offs. It presents dramatically improved concepts to cash speed and cost, resulting in higher value for the price, long-term customer interpretation, and strong market share growth.
The book centers on the Continuous Transitioning System (TM) with a self-rating matrix that helps you determine where you currently stand and the direction you need to take along the road to agility, doing in minutes what now takes days. The book gives you a holistic view of the transition process, showing you how to transform every element of your organization: the structure, the leadership, the all-important corporate culture, and the actual business processes. An extensive examination of the migration to high performance teams is included along with a discussion of the latest in virtual partnering strategies to exploit opportunities presently beyond your capability.
The book discusses real-world examples of companies that have undergone the transition process to produce higher value solutions at a fraction of the previous time and cost. These profiles, along with the author's tried-and-true advice, point out the pitfalls and opportunities that will help you successfully transition your organization - and yourself - to agility.
