What is Operational Agility? Meaning.
Operational Agility is a company's ability or capacity to find and seize opportunities to improve operations and processes, within a focused business model.
Examples of the above opportunities are:
- Introduction of new products or services,
- Cost reductions,
- Quality improvements,
- Refinements to logistic processes
Specific organizational capabilities to be operationally agile include (Donald Sull in HBR, February 2009):
- Accurate and detailed real-time market data
- Focused corporate priorities
- Clear performance goals
- Control and reward mechanisms
Besides those mentioned by Donald Sull, additional organizational competences to achieve a high degree of operational agility are:
- Flexible HR arrangements (flex working, flex benefits)
- Flexible IT systems, Telecom systems, software development (allowing to make changes relatively easy)
- Agile project management / change management approaches
