Enterprise Agility promotes an Adaptive Social Contract. This is critical for organizations undergoing accelerated change and disruption, and it is based on Strategic Mobility concepts and models. As markets and business models rapidly evolve, the old social contract can become outdated and dysfunctional. The Enterprise Agility Universal Agreements provide a framework to consciously redefine a change-ready social contract.
The four Universal Agreements—the right to be seen, heard, empowered and part of the group—establish new cultural norms that support readiness and resilience. By ensuring all voices are valued, people feel psychologically safe to engage openly with change.
Structures that provide autonomy and community foster empowerment and innovation. New feedback loops enable rapid adaptation. Mutual commitment to growth strengthens relationships amid upheaval.
In essence, the Enterprise Agility Universal Agreements outline how leaders, teams and workforce can work together successfully through disruption. They reshape the social contract based on trust, human dignity and collective potential.
This empowers people across the organization to take ownership during times of accelerated change, unlocking continuous and sustainable responsiveness, creativity and shared progress.
The Universal Agreements offer a compass for leaders to consciously recreate the new social contract to meet the challenges of an exponential world!
