Agile is the ability to quickly and naturally adapt to respond to changes. Most companies are inherently fragile and not agile -- when they are hit by new developments, shifting consumer behavior or fast-moving competition, they struggle and even cease to exist! Inner Building Blocks is a novel about Neil Frost, a Director of Digital Transformation and Agile Centre of Excellence at Walkers Mart. The company is already grappling with a failing transformation and on the verge of bankruptcy when COVID-19 strikes! Sid, the coach instils constructive discomfort through a series of probing questions to: Rethink agility and reimagine the future of work with hybrid operating models; Launch a series of experiments to reinvent the building blocks (e.g., strategy, talent, culture, structures, practices and digital technologies); Discover twenty-six solutions to embrace lean-agile mindset for strategic agility; Could the company survive amid the global pandemic and ensuing supply chain challenges? A compelling storytelling approach and provocative dialogues provide relatable context to adopt the concepts. The principles and techniques are delicately camouflaged within the underlying characters, their conversations and situations.
