In their recent groundbreaking book, Agility, Tilman and General Jacoby assess the fundamental nature of organizational agility and then describe the essential leadership practices for achieving it. They show that agility is far superior to mere speed or adaptability. Pinpointing its distinctive features, they define agility as the ability to detect and assess changes in the competitive environment in real time and then take decisive action.

The need for defining agility as the organizational capacity to navigate disruption and change has been powerfully illustrated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the global recession. In this talk, in addition to providing an overview of their theory of agility, Tilman and Jacoby will link agility to risk and uncertainty of the current operating environment, discussing how the capabilities, processes, and cultures necessary for agility can enable leadership teams to outmaneuver competitors by seizing opportunities; better defending against threats; and acting as a well-orchestrated collective of teams that are empowered to take disciplined initiative.
