What is Enterprise Agility?
A new way of working
Embarking on an agile transformation is a major undertaking, but the benefits are great. Agile organizations move faster, are more adaptable, and foster ownership mind-sets, resulting in greater productivity and reduced cost.
Broadly applicable—not just IT
We believe the principles of agility can be applied across the whole organization, beyond just the IT department. An agile transformation looks throughout the organization to find specific areas where an agile operating model can unlock value. For example, agility in innovation/new-product development can help a company quickly move from idea to prototype in a fraction of the time it takes today.
Agility = Stability + Dynamism
Agile organizations combine stability with dynamism. Stable elements provide direction and an efficient and scalable backbone. A network of dynamic teams then radically increases speed, flexibility, and ownership. The stable and dynamic elements reinforce one another, and both are essential for a truly agile organization.
Why McKinsey?
Link agility to value
We bring both the depth of expertise in agility and the breadth of expertise across capabilities and industries. We bring experience and best practices from successful agile transformations to help quickly identify the greatest pockets of value that can be unlocked by applying the principles of agility.
Sustain and scale agility
Many companies experiment successfully, but scaling up is hard. Only we bring the integrated thinking needed to reimagine how work gets done. We work side by side with you to design the necessary changes to processes, people models, structures, and technology to successfully take agility to an enterprise-wide level.
Shift behaviors and culture
We are uniquely positioned to support the major mind-set shifts required for agility to take root, from the boardroom to the front line. You can’t move the needle on agility without culture change.
A new McKinsey
Our offerings go far beyond the traditional consulting model, including advanced analytics, digital tools and next-generation tech expertise (OrgSolutions, McKinsey Digital), and multidisciplinary agile coaching expertise (Aberkyn).
