Nature of work, new technologies, emerging trends, best practices and regulations are evolving exponentially and in unexpected ways.
If the past two decades weren’t proof enough, then the last year alone reminded us that change doesn’t come knocking at our door: it bashes it down, leaving us little or no time at all to pivot accordingly.
Disruption comes in many ways, shapes and forms, but the result is always the same: a shock to the system. Now more than ever organizations need to adopt a proactive mindset that empowers their employees, partners, and community to fearlessly navigate through turbulent times and into uncharted space at warp speed.
The Agile Manifesto revolutionized work and created an incredible following 20 years ago. Now, “The Future Fit Manifesto” proposes a new strategic approach to collaborative work that builds on the Agile movement. This manifesto provides expert guidance to organizations that want to take control of their own destiny to explore new possibilities, to seek new frontiers, and to boldly create new futures.
We discussed:
- What it means to be “Future-Fit”
- The defining characteristics of a Future-Fit organization
- The value you must embrace to adopt a Future-Fit approach
- How to practically apply the Future-Fit Manifesto principles to your strategy and operations
- The steps your organization needs to take toward becoming Future-Fit
