Description

Agile organisations have to deal regularly with change and at the same time adapt to sustain agility. In this paper, we present an initial study to identify factors considered when changes need to be made to sustain agility. We used a novel data collection approach and investigated three theoretical lenses to explore the kind of practical con-sequences they help to uncover. This paper presents the findings of this initial study together with reflections on the data collection method and the three theoretical lenses. Three key dimensions relevant to sustaining agility emerge from the use of these theoretical lenses: teams vs organisation; understanding the environment vs the impact of change internally; and understanding “now” vs looking into the future.
