A study from the Institute for Corporate Productivity i4cp shows correlation between leaders in high-performance organizations and agility, but fewer than half claim to be good at it.
Those companies that have consistently outperformed competitors in profitability, market share, revenue growth and customer satisfaction - dubbed high-performance companies by i4cp researchers - reported much greater agility than their lower-performance counterparts:
- Almost 60% of high-performance organizations are adept at identifying and making needed incremental changes, versus only 35% of lower performers.
- Nearly the same amount (58%) recognize and respond to strategic challenges in a timely manner, while only 30% of low performers do the same.
- A little under half (49%) of high-performance organizations are proactive in anticipating and initiating the changes needed for sustained high performance, compared to only 20% of low performers.
BOTTOMLINE: "Most organizations understand the need for agility; what they don't understand is how to create a more agile culture. Our research and work with our member companies has uncovered some important findings about creating a corporate environment that doesn't just "manage" change well, but instead embraces change as a competitive advantage."
