PMI Agile Alliance Set to Power Enterprise-wide Reinvention

PMI Agile Alliance has released the Manifesto for Enterprise Agility, a leadership guide for organisations facing frequent disruption and rising pressure to reinvent. 

PMI global C-suite research showed that reinvention remained the norm, as 93 per cent of senior executives said they must rethink and challenge assumptions of their operating models or business approaches at least every five years, while 65 per cent said they are doing so every two years or faster.

Managing Director, Project Management Institute (PMI), sub-Saharan Africa, George Asamani, said: “Most organisations don’t struggle with strategy; they struggle with turning strategy into coordinated action. Enterprise agility is about building organisations that can adapt quickly without losing alignment, so leaders can respond to disruption while keeping their people and priorities focused on delivering value.”  

Co-author of Superagency, Greg Beato, said: “Twenty-five years after the Manifesto for Agile Software Development presented a new way to think about software development, it’s time to apply similar thinking to enterprises as a whole, not just to projects or products.”

CEO of GE Appliances, Kevin Nolan, said: “Today’s business landscape demands rapid adaptation and greater agility. Agile organisations adapt faster and take the lead, while those not embracing agility risk falling behind as collaboration becomes essential in a dynamic environment.”

Former CEO and co-founder of Rebel Foods, Sagar Kochhar, said: “Enterprise agility is less about frameworks and more about leadership courage – the courage to reset the vision, dismantle legacy assumptions, and trust teams to execute within systems designed for speed.”
