Abstract
This IDC Perspective discusses lessons learned and practices that elevate agile cultures. Agile cultures are the foundation of high-performing teams and organizations that adapt quickly to changing conditions and adverse disruptions.
Leadership creates culture. This document describes the underlying principles and some of the practices that CIOs can use to define and support their agile cultures. In their role of influencers of the entire enterprise, CIOs can leverage the culture they create to build a culture that supports adaptability, empowerment, agility, and resilience through the entire organization.
Creating an agile culture is a journey — not an event — and CIOs should approach this work through a series of short iterations, prioritized based on impact and value and through which the CIO and the teams learn the principles of agility.
"Our world of rapid changes in technology and growing uncertainty requires the CIO to build an organizational capacity and capability for adaptability," says Niel Nickolaisen, adjunct research advisor with IDC's IT Executive Programs (IEP). "Fortunately, we can leverage the work and learnings of others to guide our culture-building journey."
