Sé que usted, como yo, ha pasado años guiando a equipos para que adopten formas ágiles de trabajar. Juntos hemos celebrado muchas pequeñas victorias a medida que los equipos multifuncionales entregaron valor más rápido a través de iteraciones, transparencia y mejora continua. Pero el mundo está cambiando rápidamente y nuestros viejos mapas ya no son suficientes para navegar en estos tiempos exponenciales.

While agile principles have taken us far, markets, customer expectations, and business models are evolving rapidly. Products that once took years now must be delivered in months or weeks. Simply responding faster is no longer enough; we must build organizations that are always ready, always responsive, and innovative ahead of change.

This new world demands a shift in mindset from agile delivery to Enterprise Agility.

Let me share my learnings from making this journey myself:

• Start by expanding your perspective beyond delivery teams to the whole organization. How can we build enterprise-wide sensing capabilities to detect market changes early? What innovations in business model, structure and leadership are needed to respond quickly and sustainably?

• Adopt a long-term view. Agile focuses on immediate delivery; Enterprise Agility looks years ahead to build future-ready organizations. Develop forecasts for how markets, customer needs and competitors will evolve.

• Focus on the TriValue Company model. A new financial and value-creation model to help companies deal with high uncertainty, exponential markets, and the new AI reality.

• Think exponentially not linear. Agile assumes gradual change while Enterprise Agility prepares for disruption. Develop capabilities for accelerated innovation in offerings, channels, and business models.

• Master the science of change. Agile doesn't address human dynamics in depth; master neuroscience-based models that address resistance and mobilize people for change.

• Learn about the Sustainability Zones in Enterprise Agility, to build a resilient and sustainable organization.

• Lead beyond teams to the whole organization. Agile Mindsets empower teams, while Enterprise Agility scales that to the entire company. Focus on organization health and capabilities.

While agile principles are still relevant, applying an Enterprise Agility lens will prepare you to thrive in the turbulence ahead. This new mindset requires us to let go of old models and open ourselves to new possibilities. I encourage you to dive deeper into the Three foundational pillars to start building a new organization.

And know that you are not alone on this journey—we are all learning together in the EA World Community. I wish you much success as we embark on this adventure!
