Business complexity is increasing by the day. Corporations must produce more products or services – and variants of these products or services – for a growing number of markets. At the same time, faster-better-cheaper business models continue to proliferate while product innovation cycles continue to shrink. It is no surprise, then, that knowledge workers face mounting and relentless pressure as they attempt to effectively manage increasingly complex processes.

An agile workplace automates mundane activities and facilitates collaboration through digital transformation. IT becomes the lynchpin to these empowered workplaces by delivering the instant communication, collaboration, and centralized platforms that enable knowledge workers to have needed data at their fingertips, orchestrate and participate in automated workflows, and slice, dice, and manipulate central information.
In layman’s terms, this means that employees are encouraged to thrive on change and are empowered to makes decisions faster through business process automation and business intelligence. According to the Economist, “Shorter product cycles, compressed delivery times, and pressures from a global economy require employees to thrive on change and be empowered to make a decision in near-real time.”
The challenge of implementing an agile methodology is aligning people, processes, and systems. For people, it’s all about communications and collaboration. For processes, there becomes a greater emphasis on interactions. From the systems perspective, it’s about using advanced technological tools. In a truly agile environment, knowledge workers are provided with power drills and electric chainsaws instead of screwdriver and pliers.
