The document discusses agility enablement and unlocking enterprise agility. It defines agility as an organization's capability to sense, adapt, and respond to a dynamic environment. The document presents four key aspects: (1) understanding the enterprise as a living organism, (2) understanding agility as a capability, (3) understanding agility enablement, and (4) how to be an agility enabler. It argues that agility is always present and the goal is to identify constraints and remove them to enhance the organization's agility capability. An agility enabler works to sustain boosters and minimize inhibitors that influence various enterprise elements like leadership, culture, systems and design.

5. RESPONDING AND ADAPTATING.
Closed-ended systems, for example, machines, are largely insulated from the
external environment and incapable to learn on their own. Hence, although they
are highly predictable and stable, these systems are not capable of sensing,
responding and adapting to changes in the environment.

APPROACH FOR THE
ENTERPRISE LIMITS ITS
CAPACITY OF SENSING,

PREMISES
agility is a capability of a complex and adaptive system.
agility is much more than the implementation of Agile methods
or frameworks.
agility is always present. Our job is to identify the boundaries and
remove the constraints that surround it to enhance it.
agility lives in complexity. It is a result of the harmonization of
multiple factors and conditions.
agility with lowercase ‘a’; because it is a capability, not a noun,
brand or movement.
