With this recording of a live panel discussion, you can watch again as members of the Business Agility Think Tank (BATT) come together for a collaborative conversation about Enterprise Agility.

Organisations today face unprecedented levels of uncertainty, complexity and change. Traditional approaches that prioritise efficiency, predictability and control are increasingly being challenged by the need for greater adaptability and responsiveness. The Enterprise Agility Manifesto offers a new perspective on how organisations can thrive in this environment.

Join members of the BATT working group and contributors to the Enterprise Agility Manifesto as they explore:

  • What enterprise agility means in practice
  • Why it matters now more than ever
  • How organisations can build the capabilities needed to sense change early, learn rapidly and act with confidence

Through discussion and using their own experience, the panel will examine how leaders can create environments that enable continuous adaptation while still delivering value and achieving strategic outcomes.
